Ok, look at the page:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PathVariables
In particular, there are two or three variables that you might want to set.
$WorkDir points to the directory that will contain .flock, and some other
stuff,
$WikiDir points to the wiki files.
You might also want to check out the pub directory.
You could try
$Workdir = "/tmp";
just to see if it actually does something different. If this is a start, you
can create a subdirectory of /tmp, say /tmp/wiki.d
and set
$WorkDir="/tmp/wiki.d";
$WikiDir = "/tmp/wiki.d"
If you use this for more than testing, you should probably set up scripts to
copy the contents of this directory to somewhere safe.
You really should also get your system person to set up a writable file system.
It need not be the same one as where the wiki software resides, and you can
use the same methods as above.
Good Luck
Vince
