+I'm trying to install from scratch on a CentOS 4.6 system. I installed perl 5.8.8 from source and then added all the required modules via CPAN. When I build ikiwiki from the tarball, I get this message:

+ rendering todo/calendar_--_archive_browsing_via_a_calendar_frontend.mdwn
+ *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0922e478 ***
+ make: *** [extra_build] Aborted
+
+I'm kind of at a loss how to track this down or work around it. Any suggestions? --Monty

I'd like to install ikiwiki as a non-root user. I can plow through getting all the
perl dependencies installed because that's well documented in the perl world,
but I don't know how to tell ikiwiki to install somewhere other than / --BrianWilson

-# User database tools?
-
-Any tool to view user database?
-
-Any tool to edit the user database?
-
-> No, but it's fairly easy to write such tools in perl. For example, to
-> list all users in the user database:
-
- joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $_ foreach keys %$userinfo'
- http://joey.kitenet.net/
- foo
-
-> To list each user's email address:
-
- joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $userinfo->{$_}->{email} foreach keys %$userinfo'
-
- joey@kitenet.net
-
-> Editing is simply a matter of changing values and calling Storable::store().
-> I've not written actual utilities to do this yet because I've only needed
-> to do it rarely, and the data I've wanted has been different each time.

* Is it possible / sensible to have ikiwiki share a subversion repository with other data (either completely unrelated files or another ikiwiki instance)? This works in part but again the post-commit hook seems problematic.

+# Regex for Valid Characters in Filenames
+
+I'm sure that this is documented somewhere but I've ransacked the wiki and I can't find it. :-( What are the allowed characters in an ikiwiki page name? I'm writing a simple script to make updating my blog easier and need to filter invalid characters (so far I've found that # and , aren't allowed ;-)). Thanks for any pointers. -- [[AdamShand]]

+
+>> Perfect, thanks!
+>>
+>> In the end I decided that I didn't need any special characters in filenames and replaced everything but alphanumeric characters with underscores. In addition to replacing bad characters I also collapse multiple underscores into a single one, and strip off trailing and leading underscores to make tidy filenames. If it's useful to anybody else here's a sed example:
+>>
+>> # echo "++ Bad: ~@#$%^&*()_=}{[];,? Iki: +_-:./ Num: 65.5 ++" | sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9_]/_/g' -e 's/__*/_/g' -e 's/^_//g' -e 's/_$//g'

+Where are the upgrade steps for RecentChanges change from CGI to static feed?
+I run multiple ikiwiki-powered sites on multiple servers, but today I just upgraded one to 2.32.3.
