I've tried to use "chmod 777 config/LocalSettigs.php" to exclude
permission problem, with lo luck.
Maybe the problem is related to apache that is the owner of the file:
dcs:~/dcs.di.unipmn.it/mex/mediawiki/config $ ll
total 92
-rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 4158 2010-01-27 12:03 LocalSettings.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 mex mex 76239 2009-05-08 07:51 index.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 mex mex 68 2007-07-11 09:55 index.php5
If you are able to change the group ownership to one you are in (i.e.
chown apache.mex LocalSettings.php), that should give you access to the
file . Another option is to make yourself a member of the apache group.
It needs to be moved down a directory into the main wiki directory. It
should also have permissions of 660, not 777. If you were able to change
the permission to 777 but still could not read it, then I don't know
what's going on. Or do you mean you could not change the permissions?
You'll need to be root to do that.
You can change the file ownership as a non-root user using the
standard Unix utility called "cp".
