Hi all,
our dokuwiki installation ran very smooth for a while now, some days ago I updated to latest final release and also after that I realized no problems.
But when I tried to open the webpage today, I get this error:
DokuWiki Setup Error
The datadir ('pages') does not exist, isn't accessible or writable. You should check your config and permission settings. Or maybe you want to run the installer?
WTF???
What to do? Really run the installer again? What about my data?
Thanks in advance! Cheers,

Did you check to see if data/pages exists? If it is still there, then probably the permissions/owners somehow got changed. You should be able to change them using your ftp client. data and data/pages have to be owned by the web server and they have to have read/write permission for the web server. Different operating systems have different user names for the web server. In Linux it is apache. Ubuntu it's www-data, in OS X _www. If you can, check you httpd.conf file for the user name.

thanks for your answer. It seems that not dokuwiki itself has a problem but our server has a severe one (high load, /var not writeable anymore etc). Have to check this first and I assume that afterwards dokuwiki will also work again.
kind regards,

Solved our System problems and dokuwiki works again fine.
Thx for your help!
