I'm trying to use ikiwiki for the first time. In the start, I had problems
with installing the package, because I don't have a root account on my
server.
When I solved this, I finally set up my wiki, but whenever I try to edit a
page, I get an error: “Error: bad page name”.
What am I doing wrong? The wiki is at
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~onderka/wiki/, the setupfile I used at
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~onderka/wiki/ikiwiki.setup.
This means that one of the checks that ikiwiki uses to prevent
editing files with strange or insecure names has fired incorrectly.
Your setup file seems fine.
We can figure out what is going wrong through a series of tests:
- Test if your perl has a problem with matching alphanumerics:
perl -le 'print int "index"=~/^([-[:alnum:]+\/.:_]+)$/'
- Check if something is breaking pruning of disallowed files:
perl -le 'use IkiWiki; %config=IkiWiki::defaultconfig(); print ! IkiWiki::file_pruned("index")'
--[[Joey]]
Both seem to run fine:
onderka@atrey:~$ perl -le 'print int "index"=~/^([-[:alnum:]+\/.:_]+)$/'

onderka@atrey:~$ perl -le 'use IkiWiki; %config=IkiWiki::defaultconfig(); print ! IkiWiki::file_pruned("index")'

Try installing this instrumented
version of
IkiWiki/Plugin/editpage.pm , which will add some debugging info
to the error message. --[[Joey]]
When I tried to make ikiwiki with this file, I got the error
../IkiWiki/Plugin/editpage.pm:101: invalid variable interpolation at "$"
Sorry about that, I've corrected the above file. --[[Joey]]
Hmm, funny. Now that I reinstalled it with your changed file, it started working. I didn't remember how exactly did I install it the last time, so this time, it seems I did it correctly. Thank you very much for your help.
Well, this makes me suspect you installed an older version of
ikiwiki and my file, which is from the latest version, included a
fix for whatever bug you were seeing. If I were you, I'd ensure
that I have a current version of ikiwiki installed. --[[Joey]]
