I have tried the first option, using the full path to the root (/). It works
if I put the dokuwiki data directory anywhere in the www directory, but if I
try moving it to the webserver data directory, I keep getting:
DokuWiki Setup Error
The datadir does not exist, isn't accessable or writable. Check your config
and permission settings!
Any idea what might cause this? Could it be that dokuwiki is unable to access
this webserver data directory because it is not viewable from the webserver?
Another thing I have noticed that in the cache directory dokuwiki uses the
standard webserver user to write files. However, because I do not have access
to this user (only the host has access to this) I am unable to delete these
files.
Do you know how to change dokuwiki to write the files as a different
uses/group?

Jeroen
