[wikka-community] Newbie questions - You don't have permission to access /wikka on this server

[Scott Timm]

Dario,

Thanks for the assistance. I checked out the mod_rewrite document, but  
this had already been enabled upon installation. Although you're going  
to think I'm crazy, it was the word "settings" that caused the  
permissions error. (I learned this through trial-and-error!) I could  
save the page with no problems when I deleted the word "settings," but  
as soon as I tried to include it in the page the error returned. (The  
singular form "setting" did not prompt the error.)

None of the other pages I've created have the problem with the word  
"settings," so it doesn't seem to be a reserved word. Once I was able  
to get the page to save without the word "settings," I copied it to a  
new page and deleted the one originally giving me the problem.  
However, I still cannot put the word "settings" on the page, and I've  
tried doing this as "settings," "Settings," or a link to  
"UserSettings" - but every time this one word causes the problem.

It's not a big problem - I can work around it. But I'm really puzzled  
why this one word seems forbidden.
