Hello,

I'm trying to install the PagePrivacy plugin but haven't been able to get it to work. I've looked on kwiki.org at the KwikiPagePrivacy page and the AdminView page, and I've searched this list and found the Page Privacy thread, but I've still got problems even getting an admin view to work.

I installed Kwiki::PagePrivacy and I did these steps:

  cd mykwiki
  kwiki -add Kwiki::PagePrivacy
  kwiki -new_view admin
  echo 'privacy_group: admin' > admin/config2.yaml

I found that I then had Kwiki::PagePrivacy in the base plugins file, which is wrong according to a comment in that file. So I removed it from there and added

  +Kwiki::PagePrivacy

to the plugins file in the admin subdirectory. Then I ran kwiki -update in both directories.

At this point I could see the admin view from any browser window. There are a bunch of "Symbolic link not allowed" warnings in the apache log but I think I understand what's happening so far. Now I want to secure the admin view so it can only be seen on the host machine so I added a .htaccess file in the admin directory that says:

  Order allow,deny
  Allow from localhost
  AllowOverride All
  Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
  AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
  DirectoryIndex index.cgi

Now from both remote and local browser windows I see a server error and in the apache log:

  Symbolic link not allowed: /srv/www/kwiki/admin/javascript

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?

Oh, system details: Apache/2.0.53 (Linux/SUSE) SUSE 9.3

Thanks, Dave
