Description:
The symlinks to /etc/$pkgname, /var/lib/$pkgname, etc. cause bugs when paths are referenced. Example: Suppose the file <installdir>/lib/plugins/ajax.php requires a file <installdir>/inc/init.php. This works fine with the relative path ../../inc/init.php. Since we symlink <installdir>/lib/plugins to /var/lib/dokuwiki/plugins the relative path would end up in /var/lib/inc/init.php which doesn't exist. This is closely connected to the way webapps are installed in Arch Linux[1].

File(/var/lib/dokuwiki/plugins/acl/../../../inc/init.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/tmp:/usr/share/webapps:/etc/webapps/dokuwiki:/var/lib/dokuwiki) in /var/lib/dokuwiki/plugins/acl/ajax.php on line 10, referer: http://rivendell.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/wiki/doku.php?id=start&do=admin&page=acl Steps to reproduce: * Install dokuwiki from [community] * Log in with an account with administrative permissions * Try to list groups/users Possible solution: Rethink the best practice of installing webapps in Arch Linux. Have a look at the webapp-config tool of the Gentoo community. |

I just removed the lines that copied and symlinked lib/{plugins,tpl} and made http own lib/plugins.
This might be problematic since the content of the plugins directory can be changed by the webapp.
But it works as a temporary solution.
I still think that a dedicated webapps tool like the Gentoo webapp-config is necessary to get a clean install for webapps (especially for multiple instances).
