I'm using rev 204, and although my wiki does indeed show up, it tells em the login and create account pages are yet to be created. Ideas?
That's one I haven't seen before. I see that we're up to rev 210 already. Maybe a new bug was introduced. I can do a test install of the latest rev to see if I can recreate it.

I'm having the exact same problem. I installed revision 204 yesterday (7/12/2008) and just updated to revision 215 (using svn update), and still have the same problem. The main page looks great, but I cannot go to the login or create accounts page because it says that page does not exist.
I had struggled for a while to install wikidot on Fedora Core 9 and yesterday gave up and installed Ubuntu 8.04. Most of the installation guide went fine, although I did have to play around with the postgresql setup. Is it possible that this problem is related to that?
I'm not new to web programming (although I'm by no mean an expert), but this is my first attempt with the server-side of wikis.

As written, the Ubuntu local install works well, but I had issues with Postgresql when I used aptitude rather than apt-get to install the packages. I found that aptitude installs 100+ more MB of applications than apt when installing the Ubuntu Desktop. It includes Postfix among other things that apt does not load. I haven't confirmed this, but I think that Postfix creates some kind of conflict with Postgresql. It's been a while, but I remember having to edit the Postgrresql config file to make it listen on the correct port or tell it explicitly to use 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost".
If you get a good working install I stumbled upon a slick program that will back up your installation to a bootable/live CD/DVD and preserve virtually all of your settings. It's called remastersys (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html). Be sure to read the comments to make sure you grab it from the right repository. The live CD works (sort-of), but has issues with themes and ajax stuff. You can make an iso image as a "backup" or "dist"(ributable) disk. The difference is that the "backup" image preserves any user accounts you set up. The only real tweaking you have to do after installing either image is to reconfigure the /etc/hosts file. It's pretty cool. I envision this as a great way to distribute "Wikidot in a Box".
I hope to have some time in the next couple of days to try another "clean" install. In the meantime, you may want to check out this info I got from Gabrys on the developers Google Groups discussion forum: http://groups.google.com/group/wikidot/browse_thread/thread/124f51e1f92136c0?hl=en
It sounds like we may want to stick with some prior revisions (I would guess somewhere around rev 195) until they get everything sorted out.

Ed,
Thanks! I kept track of the conversations on the google group page and rolled back to revision 39 this morning and now everything is working great!
lcc…Since it was a new install, I actually deleted the files and redid the wikidot install using 'svn checkout -r 39' to get revision 39, and everything seems to be working fine. When I tried 'svn update -r 39', I had all kinds of permission errors for overwriting files which is why I switched to that method. Hope that helps.
There seems to be an issue with the javascript. There is the "URL from hell" being generated (from the javascript?).
From the login link:
The page login:login you want to access does not exist.

From the create account link:
The page login:newaccount you want to access does not exist.

Update to the newest revision, there is a script bin/update-2008-08-19.php that creates the new pages.

I can report that the updated scripts work great, but until there is an update to the rewrite rules or instructions on configuring things with Lighttpd, you'll have problems with private sites if you're running Wikidot on an Apache server. If you stick with "public" sites, then the latest revision works great with Apache.
