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

directory is being created when I follow those alternative instructions.
This is correct, but there is an omission in the core. Before reverting
the Wiki3 permissions to 755, upload a single file. PmWiki will create
the uploads/ directory and its subdirectories with the correct
permissions. After a first file is upoaded, you can, and should, chmod
the Wiki3 permissions back to 755.
Thank you! This works perfectly well. A custom error message would be
great though because this approach wouldn't have occurred to me.
Btw., I had another tiny issue with the following instructions (also
with new wikis):
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
... because after following the link the initial error page will be gone
(unless I remember opening it in a new tab) and I cannot see the last
command which I have yet to enter. Hitting the "Back" button doesn't
work either...
Of course this wouldn't happen to a real pro (they would copy the
command before or they would know it by heart anyway), but for
inexperienced beginners it could become a slightly embarrassing
obstacle. Maybe it would be a good idea to explicitly remind people to
(preferably) open the link in a new tab?
