Dear ikiwiki folks,


using SELinux on Debian Squeeze (in enforcing mode), the Web interface
of ikiwiki does not work as expected.

SELinux claims that ikiwiki tries to search the home directories. There
are several ikiwiki instances on this system but I am pretty sure that
in no configuration file a home directory is listed. But not knowing the
source I do not know. Is `CGI.pm` the source for `ikiwiki.cgi`?

I will post a link to the SELinux archive [1] once their archive is fixed.

Has someone written a SELinux policy for ikiwiki already to fix the
other problem? I could not find anything. This should probably a
separate report against some SELinux package.


Thanks,

Paul

in the mean time I was told to use the archive at MARC [2] and the
corresponding thread is [3].


Thanks,

ikiwiki defaults to looking in ~/.ikiwiki/ for plugins. This can be
overridden by configuring the libdir. There is also a use of
~/.ikiwiki/cookies by a couple of plugins, and that's about it.

Not that I know of. It would depend on where ikiwiki is configured to
use for its srcdir and destdir.
