    After installing PHPWiki 1.3.10 on kreator.sf.net (for wiki support) and changing the data dir away from /tmp, I get the following error:

    lib/DbaDatabase.php:54: Fatal[256]: driver initialization failed

        * file: /home/groups/k/kr/kreator/htdocs/wikidata/wiki_pagedb.gdbm
        * mode: c
        * handler: gdbm

    lib/DbaDatabase.php:54: Fatal[256]: driver initialization failed

        * file: /home/groups/k/kr/kreator/htdocs/wikidata/wiki_pagedb.gdbm
        * mode: c
        * handler: gdbm

    ibennetch on the #phpwiki channel on irc.freenode.net said the wikidata folder might have wrong permissions. Is this the problem or is it something else?

    Anyway, I'm doing this remotely (ssh-ing to Sourceforge servers) from Mac OS X 10.3.4. Not sure that that has anything to do with it either though.

    It did work fine initially before changing the data dir away from /tmp.

    Please help.

      ibennetch is right.
      the wikidata dir must be owned by nfsnobody, or nfsnobody must the proper perms to write.
