How to give Windows write permissions.

[rgleason]

When running on Windows xammp + dokuwiki. OR. dokuwikistick with apache server on the c drive user directory, how should we confrim or set write permissions for the files and directories needed to run siteexport.

To be clear, this discussion is only for locally installed dokuwiki on a windows 10 or 11 computer, with a private network protected by a router from the internet. The wiki files have been downloaded from the website and have been installed on the local machine in under the dokuwiki directory, and the wiki has been configured with necessary plugins and settings so that it runs properly and can be edited and managed.

One problem is Windows uses a different system for permissions than dokuwiki and apache with php.

Another problem is we don't know how to determine the group, user and pw that apache is using, so that we can make those write permissions.

The third thing that is unclear, is exactly how to go about setting those permissions. Is it done under the Windows Properties system, or under some linux/apache system? What commands and paths are used?
