+I am trying to use the attachment plugin, but it isn't working the way I expect.
+
+I attempted to add a PDF as an attachment `dns_example.pdf` to a example_page (https://notes.example.org/wiki/MiscNotes/dns_docs_page).  The upload appears to happen, I can click the insert links button and links will be inserted into the page.  When I click the save-page button, the attachment does not appear to be attached.  No errors are displayed.
+
+On the web server the attachment is at `$srcdir/.ikiwiki/attachments/MiscNotes/dns_docs_page/dns_example.pdf`, but doesn't get copied over to the `$destdir` folder at all.  I would expect that it should have been moved to `$srcdir/MiscNotes/dns_docs_page/dns_example.pdf` and added to the git repo, and then copied over to `$destdir`.  Am I missing some setting in my configuration or something?
+
+Is this expected?  Is my file being rejected for some reason?  It is about 100k, which is under the value required by the `allowed_attachments`.  Is there some error logs somewhere that I look at to see more information about why this is failing?
