6<p>DokuWiki uses ordinary files for the storage of wiki pages and other
7information associated with those pages (e.g. images, search indexes, old
8revisions, etc). In order to operate successfully DokuWiki
9<strong>must</strong> have write access to the directories that hold those
10files. This installer is not capable of setting up directory permissions. That
11normally needs to be done directly on a command shell or if you are using hosting,
12through FTP or your hosting control panel (e.g. cPanel).</p>
13
14<p>This installer will setup your DokuWiki configuration for
15<acronym title="access control list">ACL</acronym>, which in turn allows administrator
16login and access to DokuWiki's admin menu for installing plugins, managing
17users, managing access to wiki pages and alteration of configuration settings.
18It isn't required for DokuWiki to operate, however it will make Dokuwiki easier
19to administer.</p>
