[Moin-user] attachment files don't show up after upgrade

X-)

1.2.4 hopefully.

If you have it running, you can go forward to 1.3.3 then. :)

You should move away from that kind of config, for 2 reasons:

a) if done wrong (apache config), it can be very unsecure (imagine 
someone uploading some malicious php or cgi script and then executing it 
via web server)

b) we won't support that in 1.4 any more, because all wiki objects will 
be equal (no matter what mime type, wiki page or "attached" files) and 
live in data dir, we can't support that "attachments = ..." stuff any more.

AFAIK, just copying that mywiki_files dir content into data/pages dir 
should work for 1.2, those directories use the same structure.

Maybe cleaning the data/cache also helps with such problems.
