Leave wiki.d/ pages at pmwiki root, create a tmp/ in pmwiki rootInstalling pmwiki (if safe_mode off):
Installing pmwiki (safe_mode on, or site cannot do "chmod 2777"):
Top-level writable directory, pages and temp files as subdirsFor now we'll assume the top-level writable directory is called data.d/ (likely to change). Installing pmwiki, safe_mode off:
Installing pmwiki, safe_mode on:
Presumably the data.d/ directory could be included in the distribution as an empty directory. One potential downside to this would occur for Mac OS/X systems. If a Mac OS/X system attempts to do a PmWiki upgrade by dragging-and-dropping a new pmwiki root on top of an existing pmwiki root, and the distribution contains an (empty) data.d/ directory, that empty directory would override any existing data.d/ directory, thus destroying any pages that happened to exist.
