Perhaps you've tried this already. I'm not a Linux guru either, however in Mac OS X, I have to set the owner of the data directory and all its items in it to the owner of the webserver. On OS X that's "www" on your Linux box it may be a different owner. Permissions I don't have to touch after that. I also have to set the owner of the conf dir and the owner of the user, acl and local files in it to "www" Hope this helps...martin On 11/13/06, sports tg <sportstg@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

You do not need 777 then, 750 will do (for > directories, and 640 for files). 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. > For example, when you do a ls -l in data/pages, you should see something like > - -rw-rw---- 1 tom www 413 Nov 12 2006 start.txt > In this case, the file belongs to user tom and group www (assumed that your > webserver runs with group www). 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 > When you do a "chgrp www data" and "chmod 2770 data" (from the dokuwiki > root dir) all files created in the data directory will automatically belong > to the www group (because of the gid bit set).

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.
