I use dokuwiki and am constantly shifting it to new sites. The shift goes well except sometimes I find that I cannot edit the pages, the buttons simply do not appear.
My Dokuwiki user is defined by the user qualification when they log into phpbb forum (must be administrator). When someone logs in with that status the pages are editable, generally.
For my site move I do the following
Whether smart or otherwise (opinions please), I change the file permissions for
chmod 777 httpdocs/pages/data/cache (recursively)
chmod 777 httpdocs/pages/data/pages (recursively)
I also make a domain name change in
httpdocs/pages/conf/users.auth.php
httpdocs/pages/lib/tpl/default/main.php
Sometimes this works perfectly, other times not and I can't figure out why not?
Dokuwiki works in all sense other than not being able to edit.
When I run pages/doku.php?do=check
I get..............
DokuWiki version: snapshot?

I too would like to know more of what to check when moving from one site to another.
