To upgrade dokuwiki, first back up the install, then wget the new tgz file, then unpack and migrate the new content on top of the existing as follows:

zip -r doku-bu-date.zip /path/to/doku
wget https://getdownloadlinkfromsite.tgz
tar zxvf dokuwiki-example-39fe13964.tgz
'cp' -af dokuwiki/* /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/

Once that's complete, the permissions will be wrong on the files you copied over since root performed that task. In order to make the instance functional again, you need to re-update the permissions:

sudo chmod g+rwx /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/conf
sudo chown -R www-data:user /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/conf
sudo chown www-data:user /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/data
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/data
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/lib
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/conf
cd /var/www/jonathanhaack.com/public_html/dokuwiki/data/
sudo chmod 2775 {attic,cache,index,locks,media,meta,pages,tmp,media_attic,media_meta}
sudo chown www-data:user {attic,cache,index,locks,media,meta,pages,tmp,media_attic,media_meta}

Dokuwiki details their permission recommendations here: Install Permissions. The page is a bit complicated so the above is a simpler (but longer in syntax) version of the whole page, including the partial synopsis they put at the end, which I reprint below as a reminder/historical purposes.

yourwiki> chmod -R 775 data/
yourwiki> chown -R www-data:foo data/
everything below the data directory:
yourwiki/data> chmod 2775 {attic,cache,index,locks,media,meta,pages,tmp}
yourwiki/data> chown www-data:foo {attic,cache,index,locks,media,meta,pages,tmp}
