Hello. Le dimanche 25 mai 2008, Peter Hombach a écrit : > There are a few installation flaws that become evident when one > runs the install.php of dokuwiki: > 1.

Indeed, it does not exist, but the install.php is not needed with the Debian package, as the installation process is meant to be handled by the package scripts. And, in fact, there is no reason to make it the default page. If someone wants to run install.php, he will visit the install.php page. Even in the upstream release, install.php is not the default page. > 2. The directory /etc/dokuwiki is not set with the proper privileges > when established, because write access is needed initially. Write access is needed for editing the configuration from the wiki web administration page – or from the install.php page that is not meant to be run –. Allowing the web server to write into a configuration directory may not be what everyone wants. I shall add a notice about that in the README.Debian or as a debconf question. > 3.

But I know where this mismatch comes from: the configuration file is modified in the Debian package, to “debianize” the wiki title. I shall add the corresponding hash in a future version. > 4.

Yes, that is right. I shall use debconf to ask what install.php normally sets up. Regards, -- Tanguy Ortolo
