Thanks for the tips Anthony! After I added the groups wiki_editor and wiki_author and put my signon into those groups, the wiki started working (it appears I have a bit more to learn about how the wiki works now that it's working), but I thought I was administrator at the time and it didn't automatically set up those groups.
I think a one-sentence additional comment in default.py should mention these additonal requirements. (or refer to the documentation in the manual). (And yeah, the underscore in "auth_wiki()" was just a posting typo, of course) Rufus On Saturday, May 17, 2014 9:58:27 AM UTC-4, Anthony wrote: > > From the book: > > At this point no page has been created and in order to create pages you >> must be logged-in and you must be member of a group called "wiki_editor" or >> "wiki_author".
