I have installed the dokuwiki maybe 10 times on different machines in the Linux environment but this has me stumped.
I have carefully gone through the installation instructions, particularly the permissions, but cannot resolve this issue.
For the record, I have installed splitbrain-dokuwiki-release_stable_2009-12-25-399-g42de51b.tar.gz on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, completely updated. I also installed Apache2 2.2.14-5Ubuntu8.2.
I very recently installed the dokuwiki on my Asus EEE netbook and it works fine. I have compared the installations carefully and still cannot put my finger on the problem.
Help please!
Here is a message from the Apache log file:
[Sat Sep 25 15:59:54 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/dokuwiki_try/inc/common.php on line 564, referer:
http://localhost/dokuwiki_try/doku.php
OK, I have a solution. I tarred up the installation on my netbook, which works, and untarred it on my desktop. Hey presto: it works now!
The version from my netbook was: 2009-12-25c "Lemming", and the version that I had on my desktop (there is no VERSION file) was splitbrain-dokuwiki-42de51b.
I therefore think there must be some bug in the latter version.
