Your shell login to the server (presumably SSH?) is running under a
|
||
|
|
restrictive `umask`, and by default ikiwiki doesn't overrule that.
|
||
|
|
For instance, perhaps you're using the `pam_umask` module, or
|
||
|
|
perhaps your `.bashrc` sets a restrictive mask. This is generally
|
||
|
|
a good thing for privacy from other users of a shared server, but
|
||
|
|
counterproductive when you're publishing things!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can configure ikiwiki to set a less restrictive `umask` with
|
||
|
|
the `umask` option in your setup file. 18 is probably a good value
|
||
|
|
(18 decimal = 022 octal, and a `umask` of 022 octal corresponds
|
||
|
|
to `chmod 0755`, because the `umask` is subtracted from 0777 octal
|
||
|
|
to get the default permissions).
