You are probably using url rewriting (and useslash), so when you request www.mydomain.com/mystuff Dokuwiki looks for a page mystuff.txt located in the root namespace of your dokuwiki installation. > www.mydomain.com leads to this startpage and its named .txt and I > cannot accessrights to it (guess cause it does not have name).

If this is what you have than your root namespace is /mystuff/ > i) when accessing the root of my dokuwiki I want to have the content of > one special namespace displayed You don't seem to understand what a namespace really is. If you're familiar with Unix, a namespace is a subdirectory of /place-where-dokuwiki-is-installed/data/pages/ When accessing the root of your dokuwiki, you see the root namespace of your dokuwiki installation, that is the content of the data/pages/$conf[start] page. That's the use of the $conf[start] variable. > ii) I want to be able to give the startpage a proper name, so I can give > accessrights to it. Actually the only way to give accessrights to the > startpage is via the *-namespace and this is not what I want.

This is easy using ACLs: * @ALL 1 restricted1:* @ALL 0 restricted1:* @user 4 With these ACLs, the root namespace (dokuwiki-install/data/pages/) is readable by anyone, while dokuwiki-install/data/pages/restricted1 (subdir or namespace) is only accessible (read-write) for the members of the group "user". gb -- DokuWiki mailing list - more info at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:mailinglist
