Werner,
Thanks for the mail.

The files are all mine. I tried a
chmod 750 dokuwiki/data and all the other directories but then when I did
ls -l data/pages
ls: data/pages: Permission denied
So I went back to 777.

I have no files in pages just a directory. This directory has 2 directories
and then there i one more layer in one of the branches before the files are
listed. I tried doing a chmod 777 on all these branches. Looking at the
permissions on the files I get :
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3450 Nov 11 20:32 file1.txt

chpgrp www data gave an invalid group. Then I added the 2 lines to the
local.php, still the same. Then I did
chmod 2770 data
and now I can't get a dojuwiki setup error message and can't see any of the
site.
Sorry for my lack of linux knowledge.
thanks, Tom.
