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.
