Hello sputnik-list,

I installed Sputnik version 8.02.20 on an free shell account to create a public wiki. As of this writing, I haven't put much information onto the wiki, but I would like now to updateSputnik to "Earth" and use it with git.

To uninstall, I tried to delete everything, but it seems sputnik writeswiki-data as user www. As I don't have su or sudo priveleges is thereanyway I can delete this directory without bothering the admin? Thank you. Sincerely,Kaivin Chen

Hi, Kaivin,

Sputnik writes files as whatever user your web server runs as... In your case, I am guessing Apache is running as www and is not configured to set user ID properly when calling CGI scripts.

If you don't want to bother the admin, write a cgi script that changes permissions of the files, or use something like "PHP Shell". Or ask your admin to configure Apache to run CGI scripts as your user.
