If you install dokuwiki in debian using apt-get it has several problems.
1.Configuration not saved
2. Media not uploaded
problem lies in that debain distribute dokuwiki in /etc, /usr/share and /var/lib
so, there are some permission issues, and some PHP5 issues
Actually they are not dokuwiki issue per se.
following are some solutions to make save button appear in configuration
===========================================
set permissions and ownership as follows
root@localhost:/etc# ls dokuwiki -ld
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Jan 8 18:00 dokuwiki
root@localhost:/etc/dokuwiki# ls local.php -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 360 Jan 8 18:00 local.php
ownership and permission for data
=================================
root@localhost:/var/lib/dokuwiki# ls -l
total 12
drwx------ 2 www-data root 4096 Jan 3 16:36 acl
drwx------ 12 www-data www-data 4096 Jan 3 16:36 data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 22 2015 inc -> /usr/share/dokuwiki/inc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 3 16:35 lib
There is error in media upload. It is acturally php setting which needs to be modified
to enable media upload
========================
in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
