I recently moved to a new server. I installed the latest ubuntu-server version (10.10), and moved the pmwiki files and apache configuration files to the new server. I have since donated the old server, so I can't look at its setup. My setup is such that www.words2u.net redirects to /home/words2u, and under /var/www I have a short index file which is only accessed when people reach the machine using the IP address.
Today, when I tried to add a new page, I found out I can't edit pages, and am getting the following message and a link to http://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki/info/flock: " PmWiki can't process your request Cannot acquire lockfile We are sorry for any inconvenience. " Changing the user and group of my wiki files and directories to www-data lets me edit the data, but I doubt this is a good solution, because I log in and move files into the site using another user name. Would it help if I re-installed pmwiki from scratch? Is there another solution? Maybe adding www-data to the words2u group or vice versa (someone please tell me how to do it, though...) I prefer not to use /var/www/pmwiki to host the web site (this is the default document root) because each of my pages has either an image or a kml file that I upload to directories under /home/words2u/ and I don't think I can sftp files to /var/www/ as a user. Thanks for your help. Z. -- Check out my web site - www.words2u.net
