Thanks. The sppon feed installation did not offer anything new offer http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:install I am using linux and have tried
chmod 664 dokuwiki/data & chmod 664 dokuwiki/data / chown -R nobody dokuwiki/data & chown -R nobody dokuwiki/data
I still get the same datadir message. What permissions do I need to set?

You've got directory permission problems, I suggest this setup guide instead:
