I'll see if I'll be able to submit a pull request later.  I have some
trouble getting the folder layout right for web-wiki and web-shared; for
now I've quickly moved parts of the clones, so that it works.

Indeed, it seems that an early commit[1] broke the display of any
message, due to the exclusion of tpl_header.php which calls the
important html_msgarea().  A very quick fix might be to insert the
respective

  <?php html_msgarea() ?>

in dokuwiki/lib/tpl/phpnet/main.php right below

  <!-- wikipage start -->

Some styling for the respective classes (apparently, .error, .info,
.success, .notify) would also be appropriate.
