      Initial setup questions

      So, I installed VaultWiki according to the installation directions on the web site.

      However, I know have a top level Navigation category for Wiki that gives me a 404 error.
      http://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showwiki.php

      I can navigate directly to one of the forums underneath the wiki.
      http://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums...php?79-Manuals

      Since there is no showwiki.php in the forums directory after install, I figure I must have incorrectly configured something.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks,
      JPG

      P.S. Also, how can I change my user name? I used my e-mail for ease of remembering, but I can't display a different name for posting.

      On a related note, I want to set up a "wiki" section of my site that contains sections, such as manuals, tutorials, developer guides, and a couple others.

      What's the best setup to use to have a top-level wiki link that contains a front page with links to each "section"?

      Thanks,

      If the showwiki.php file is missing from your forums directory, you will have to upload it. It's possible you uploaded some or all of the files to the wrong directory.

      As for the best setup, it sounds like you should make new "namespaces" for each "section".

      From the package I downloaded (ces_nwsp_spec_3-0-20_PL_1.zip), there is not a showwiki.php file in the in the upload directory. Based on the install directions I was following on the site, it said to upload the contents of the "upload" directory to our forums directory.

      * Am I mapping incorrectly? (i.e. <download>/upload -> <website>/www/forums)
      * Should I be pulling one of the showwiki.php files from /vault/plugins or /vault/functions; and placing it in the forum root?

      Thanks for the pointer of the setup,

      Thanks for reporting this. There were a number of files missing from the ZIP because some files have the same names in VaultWiki 4.

      This is fixed now, so please just download the ZIP again to get the missing files.
