Hi,

Today I tried to upload an image to a local test Wiki, but it turned out that I had forgotten to create an uploads directory (although I had enabled uploads in my config.php).

Below I have pasted the error message I got. I'm a little bit doubtful about the latter part (from "Or, for a slightly more secure installation, try executing" through "chmod 755 /UNIONFS/var/www/Wiki3"). Is this correct? Apparently no uploads/ directory is being created when I follow those alternative instructions.

I am using PmWiki version pmwiki-2.2.57.

Maybe I should have posted this to PITS instead... I'm not sure. Or maybe I just misread the whole thing somehow?

Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /UNIONFS/var/www/Wiki3/pmwiki.php on line 585
PmWiki can't process your request

PmWiki needs to have a writable uploads/ directory before it can continue. You can create the directory manually by executing the following commands on your server:

    mkdir /UNIONFS/var/www/Wiki3/uploads
    chmod 777 /UNIONFS/var/www/Wiki3/uploads

Then, reload this page.

Or, for a slightly more secure installation, try executing

    chmod 2777 /UNIONFS/var/www/Wiki3

on your server and following this link [http://localhost/Wiki3/index.php]. Afterwards you can restore the permissions to their current setting by executing

    chmod 755 /UNIONFS/var/www/Wiki3

(...)
