Hello,
i wanted to access some of my data via the mediamanager of dokuwiki to use the content in my wiki at home. My first guess was symlinking the folder i want to reach and give the user which runs dokuiwiki / apache (www-data) the ownership of this symbolic link. Further all data in the wanted folder is only readable to www-data, folders as well as files.
After that the described folder apears in the mediamanager, but iam only able to extend the view to the first subdir level. Everything further down won´t be displayed. In contrast i made a test directory with a testfile and another test dir in it - all with the same ownership and permissions described in the first paragraph - and it works perfect.
I don´t get it.
Solution(so far):
Dokuwiki isn´t intended to use mixed upper & lowercase namespaces als well as mixed directory names within the ./data/media folder. There is a solution like using a "hack" described here
http://forum.dokuwiki.org/thread/495. But this will lead to further problems like folders with spaces won´t be recognised.
I give up.
