The installed files have the wrong permissions set

[clockwork pete]

Binary package hint: dokuwiki

The following files/directories need to be modifiable by the docuwiki program (ie by user name www-user or group www-user)

/etc/docuwiki/local.php
/usr/share/lib/dokuwiki/plugins/
/var/lib/dokuwiki/acl/acl.auth.php
/var/lib/dokuwiki/acl/users.auth.php

Currently they are installed as only modifiable by root, and you need to change the permissions by hand.

This is with dokuwiki 0.0.20070626b-1 on Ubuntu "Gutsy Gibbon", doing a default install with Synaptic package manager.

I am working on offering, via debconf, the choice to make the plugins and configuration files writeable by the web server.

The users and acl files should already be owned by www-data.
