I think I can finally say that I have a fully functional install now. After wiping one of my test servers and doing one more clean install, it appears all of the "critical" functionality is now working. This includes my latest issue of file upload/download.

Also, I would highly recommend using the dynamic DNS service, DynDNS if you want to access your server from the outside. See my post in the thread for more details: http://www.wikidot.org/forum/t-38870/installation-clarifications#post-111637

My production server for my work-related Wikidot project will be going live this week. Wish me luck!

It took over a week, but I finally figured it out! I have resolved all of the permissions problems that were driving me crazy and now have what appears to be a fully-functioning Wikidot server running on my home network. Through this process I have learned a lot more than I planned, but it was a great feeling when the final attempt actually worked without errors. Those "A-Ha!" moments are great! ;)

I just posted a how-to: Wikidot Home Network install

The steps documented have been confirmed to work on 3 different PCs. If you can run Ubuntu Server 7.10, the rest should be pretty easy now.

The how-to still needs some follow-up, but it's far enough along that you can get a working Wikidot server going in a couple of hours.

Have fun!
