If it shows, like you wrote before, two slashes with "//wiki.d", the only place I see where it could happen is on the line 554 of pmwiki.php, containing the function realpath(). This is from the PHP documentation: The running script must have executable permissions on all directories in the hierarchy, otherwise realpath() will return FALSE. http://php.net/realpath The message is printed by the function mkdirp() which tries to create a directory. This function is not called often - only when a file is being written: a wiki page, an uploaded file, a page cache. > What I guess I need to do is to create a new copy of pmwiki.php and put in > a traceback to try to see what file it is trying to write. Please do -- and dump all local variables from the function mkdirp() before the error message appears: $dir, $parent, $bdir, $perms.
