[9fans] Editing the wiki
I mentioned this in a previous post but I will repeat here as it was buried in a load of other stuff. I tried to edit the sandbox in the wiki and wasn't able to. I ran acme /acme/wiki/guide and executed the commands in that file. I was then able to navigate the wiki in acme (and confirmed it was the 'live' wiki and not the local copy in /sys/lib/wiki. I edited the sandbox page and executed the Put command. I got the error Wiki commit 1028330739 12 -1: '/sys/lib/wiki/d/2.hist' permission denied. I don't understand why wiki is looking in that directory. If I instead run 'Local wikifs /sys/lib/wiki' then I get access to the local copy and can edit it freely. In that case my changes are indeed in /sys/lib/wiki/d/2.hist as I would expect. Thanks, Pete

I don't understand why wiki is looking in that directory. Just guessing, but I think that path is on sources and it may be expected that you can't update the file. ++L

I was able to edit the same page (I turned your text into a hyperlink!) to the OP, did you B2 the line Local srv net!plan9.bell-labs.com!wiki wiki /mnt/wiki that seems like the most likely issue. The actual line was 'Local 9fs wiki' which in /bin/9fs evaluates to 'srv -m net!plan9.bell-labs.com!wiki' wiki /mnt/wiki' So it seems (ironically) I can edit any page apart from the sandbox and the error message is just misleading (i.e. the reference to /sys/lib/wiki/... is not my file system but the one on the bell labs server) Anyway, that is my guess; like Lucio I am not ready to give up on guessing just yet ;) Pete
