I would strongly recommend upgrading *IMMEDIATELY*. This version is ancient and
has many known security problems.
My system had an unexpected power outage a while ago
and since then my
wiki has been misbehaving. When I try to log-in as a user or as Wiki
sysop the log-in does not persist. ie the next page I click on after a
successful log-in tells me I'm not logged in. At the bottom of the page
I get the following error msgs:
*
Warning*: Unknown: open(/tmp/<my unix user
id>/sess_62b7990e5378a19fc3ba09eeb550a726, O_RDWR) failed: Permission

Sounds like you'll have to fix the permissions on the files. Contact your system
administrator; they should be able to simply wipe the directory clean for you,
which should fix it if it can't be recovered otherwise.
