+I just went through the standard procedure described for setup, copied the blog directory from examples into my source directory, ran ikiwiki, and everything seems to have worked, except that none of the
+[[!meta ... ]] tags get converted. They simply show up in the html files unformatted, with no exclamation point, and with p tags around them. Any ideas? using ikiwiki version 2.40 on freebsd --mjg

Can the instructions for using `ikiwiki-makerepo` be clarified. This
command wants to create folders in the directory it is run in. Which
directory should that be - `$SRCDIR?` --Andy
relevant. I've changed ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method more portable to
older versions of git. --[[Joey]]
+Many thanks Joey, upgraded my git, and now have working iki :) -- Andy

It isn't intended that .ikiwiki be versioned, is it? Do you have a svn:ignore set?
Curious as to why support for CVS is not built in. --[[Luther]]

+What is the syntax for specifying the adminuser as an openid user? I've tried a couple things but I'm missing something. Thanks for any pointers. -- [[AdamShand]]

+
+I apologize if this is the incorrect forum for this question, but I am trying to get ikiwiki set up and running with git. I followed all the directions and all seems to work until I go back and try to make changes. The steps I am performing:
+
+ cd $SRCDIR (e.g. ~/ikisrc)
+ vim index.mdwn (add a couple lines)
+ git commit -a -m 'test'
+ git push
+
+I then get a long error message which reads in part "You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
+want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in your configuration file does not tell me either." From that point on, I get:
+
+ sws@odin:~/dev/ikisrc$ git push
+ To /home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git
+ ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast forward)
+ error: failed to push to '/home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git'
+
+If I do a git clone ssh://odin/path/to/$REPOSITORY from another machine and try to edit I get the same error sequence. What am I doing wrong?
+
+-----
+
+I follow every steps of the setup procedure, change some templates and tried to modify some page through the web but was not able to do so. Every page seems to be locked by the adminuser user. When I remove the adminuser in the setup file, every ran fine. Did I miss something ? What is exactly the adminuser supposed to be allowed to ? Is he the only user allowed to modify pages ?

+I hope you guys can put up with an absolute newbie. I am fairly new to linux and completely new to Perl. I have just installed MoinMoin locally in my PC, running ubuntu 8.4 and was about to use it until I ran into your ikiwiki. I thought ikiwiki is a better fit for what I want to do, so am seriously considering installing it as well in ubuntu. Except that the install seems way beyond my understanding.
+
+Do i need to install git first? Which git -- the git-core? Ubuntu's instructions on installing the git-core is: "sudo apt-get install git-core". Is that it? Do I need to do a git-init as well, or will the ikiwiki-makerepo handle that? If I have to do a git-init as well, what --share values should I specify?
+
+It seems I will have to install the ikiwiki from the tar.gz file. I have downloaded it, but do I need to install CPAN or CPAN++ first? That doesn't sound right. I am totally confused already. Does anyone have some install documents pitched to someone as ignorant as I am? -- [[WillDioneda]]

+
+
+Thanks for your response. You're right. Ubuntu does have ikiwiki, except that it is an older version. I tried installing it; saw some error messages from the install, and decided against it. Plus the documentation here in ikiwiki.info seems slightly different. I made an executive/beginner decision: to go for the latest tarball. And found myself in deep water, ...
+
+Anyway, I think I might be able to install it from the tarball I downloaded. I've been reading the discussions, had a look at your screencasts, etc. I will give it another bash. -- [[WillDioneda]]
