Check if the provided path for ##CACHE_SESSION_DIR## is correct. The default value is ##/tmp## but may vary in your environment.
Furthermore, you can change this folder to a ((/Dev/Components/SessionHandling custom folder)) for the application (e.g. ##_cache/session##).
**constants.php**:
%%const CACHE_SESSION_DIR = '/tmp';%%
=====RewriteBase=====
If your webserver's URLs are not directly related to physical file paths, you will need to use ((https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritebase RewriteBase)) in every .htaccess file where you want to use ((/Doc/English/ModRewrite RewriteRule directives)).
%%
RewriteBase /folder/
%%
=====New config settings=====

====((/Doc/English/AdminPanel Admin panel))====
* to login define the ##recovery_password## in the config.php file first
1. call the ##""{{admin_recovery}}""## action as Admin and generate the password hash for your recovery_password
2. add the password hash: ##'recovery_password' => 'add hash here',##
* Don't forget to delete the _cache/config/config.php afterwards.
* e.g. via ##~{{admincache}}##
* **you must be logged in as member of the Admin group** in the first place **to access the admin panel**
* call yourwiki/admin.php
* enter your recovery_password
If your ((/Doc/English/AdminPanel Admin panel)) gets locked reset **config/lock_ap** from ##1## to ##0##
====Themes====
{{anchor href="theme_migration"}}
If you want to keep your layout, you have to use a program like Meld or WinMerge to merge your CSS and other theme files with the new files in the folder **((source:master/src/theme/default wacko/theme/default))**.
You can write or adapt your theme also without using the ((/Dev/Projects/Templatest/Usage template engine)).

====Backwards Compatibility====
We dropped compatibility code for older PHP and MySQL versions. R6.1 requires at least PHP 8.0 and MariaDB 10.4 or MySQL 8.0. To use WackoWiki with older PHP or MySQL versions, use the older branch of ((/Dev/Release/R6.0/ReleaseNotes 6.0.x releases)), which you can find on the ((/Download/LegacyVersions download page)).
====Known Issues====
All ((ToDo known issues)) are tracked in our ((https://wackowiki.org/bugs/ Bug Tracker.))
1. ((/Dev/Release/R6.0/UnicodeIssues/ngramFull-TextParser ngram Full-Text Parser)), used to support Chinese, Japanese, Korean word segmentation is currently only available for MySQL.
1. **((/Dev/Release/R6.0/ToDo/SessionTimedOut Session duration issue))** - FIXED partially
2. WikiEdit Autocomplete selection ain't working (Help needed, can someone fix it?)
1. Missing route cases (needs fix)
2. CSS files in RECOVERY mode
====Developers====
=====Debug functions=====
1. to write a parameter in the debug log
* ##Ut::dbg('debug_variable', $parameter);##
1. add debug output to DEBUG file and popup-window in browser
* ##Diag::dbg($parameter);##
* to highlight the debug output in the console add ##'[BLUE|GOLD|ORANGE|RED]'## as the first argument
* e.g. ##Diag::dbg('GOLD', $parameter);##
In both cases it writes the ##$parameter## to the log in the main directory ##src/DEBUG## when the config ##debug## is enabled.
Be aware the log isn't emptied automatically. **Ensure** that the file ##src/DEBUG## can be created and is writable.
