-# Unable to add attachments to some pages
-
I can add attachment to some pages within an ikiwiki site. ( for example the index page ), but I'm unable to add attachments to other child pages.
When I try I get the error message "Error: bad attachment filename". I can successfully attach the same file to the index page.
ikiwiki version 3.20100815.7 on Debian Squeeze.
Please advise.
