Dear Niko, thank you for your feedback!
Wims is a rather intricated software, with a lot of dependencies, and it has been recently developed mostly by French-speaking authors. I agree about the file README, it is outdated. There is no command /usr/bin/wims, so there is no use for a manpage. I you do not mind, let us find which was the bug, and try to fix it. If that entails some improvement in the package later, I shall be happy. Please can you run the following command: -----------8<---------------------------- $ ls -l /var/lib/wims/public_html/ | tail -5 drwxr-xr-x 11 wims wims 4096 janv. 16 18:10 themes drwxr-xr-x 4 wims wims 4096 avril 10 2012 w -rw-r--r-- 1 wims wims 184 janv. 16 18:05 webget.sites -rwsr-sr-x 1 wims wims 301360 janv. 16 18:06 wims lrwxrwxrwx 1 wims wims 4 janv. 16 18:06 wims.cgi -> wims -----------8<---------------------------- please notice the particular permissions of the file "wims". Can you check also that most of the files under /var/lib/wims/public_html/ are owned by user wims? When I have that information, we can go further. Best regards, Georges.
