Two questions:
1) I have a master DokuWiki directory, and then I symlink the files in
that directory to another directory where I re-create the directory
structure (lndir). I have a fresh copy of "data" and "conf" in the new
location. However, variables like DOKU_INC end up pointing to the
"source" location, and not the "real" location so DokuWiki can't see the
changes to local.php in the symlinked copy. Of course I can't even set
basedir :) Any ideas?
2) I see the data directory can exist in a separate directory, but can
the "conf" directory exist outside the dokuwiki directory?
(I guess this creates a weird chicken and egg problem where you would
need to read the configuration file to know where to find the
configuration file!!)
Just to point out for those interested -- there are over 50 references
to realpath in define statements throughout the DokuWiki code. This
leaves me wondering ... if instead, DokuWiki included a custom realpath
that did NOT resolve symlinks, I believe this would allow DokuWiki to
work in both standard (no symlink) or wiki farm (symlink) environments.
I wonder why PHP doesn't include such a function built in... (maybe I'm
missing it!) I mean, you could do a "dirname" . directory_separator .
"basename" as well, but that would leave in "../../" references (not
that it really matters).... Andi?? Chris?? :)
