This question about Installation of Foswiki: Answered

Foswiki data on a Windows 2003 Server share

I setup a Ubuntu 804 LTS Server machine running foswiki.
Foswiki's data and pub folders are symlinked to share on a Windows 2003 server, mounted via CIFS.
The corresponding entry in the fstab: //192.168.0.2/data /winshare cifs credentials=/etc/smb_credentials,uid=www-data,gid=www-data,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,iocharset=utf8
Everything seems to work, topics can be read and created. But after a while other write attempts to the newly created topics are blocked, giving this error message:
RCS: failed to create file /var/lib/foswiki/data/Main/TestTopic.txt: Permission denied
Reason: permissions of TestTopic.txt are set to 0444 instead of 0644.
After manual intervention TestTopic.txt can be written, but the permissons are set to 0444 again.
Can this problem be solved?

Interesting; the permissions used by Foswiki are defined in configure, and are normally 755 (dir) and 644 (file). From what you describe, it sounds like a problem with your file server, rather than anything Foswiki is doing.
