Question

Dear support team,

I'm a newbie TWiki user and after the ActionTrackerPlugin was installed I can't save the edits of any topic. It brings me to the "Cannot display" standard page if I click on the "save" button. If I go back and try again, then it says that the "invalid parameters" were passed to the save script.

Also, theres the following error that appears on InstalledPlugins:

"TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

Can't locate Timepath in @INC (@INC contains: path path-linux-thread-multi/ path path path . path path path path path path path path)"

Thank you very much for your time,

Environment

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You appear to be missing a perl module. Can you save any topics usig the normal edit? Is it only action tracker that fails? What messages are printed in the apache logfile?

I can't save topics in any way. Here's the log file:

Looks like you need to use CPAN to install Time::ParseDate. The action tracker depends on this module.

perl -MCPAN -e shell

and then

install Time::ParseDate

-- CrawfordCurrie - 28 Nov 2006

find ./ -name "ActionTracker*.pm" -exec grep -Hi "Time::" {} \;

Returns

./lib/TWiki/Plugins/ActionTrackerPlugin.pm

require Time::ParseDate;

I had the same problem with the Debian install, I followed the instructions here but could not get the cpan function working. I think it couldn't locate the mirrors or couldn't ftp for some reason. I did have the firewall off but with my limited expertise I couldn't sort it out. I ended up downloading the module manually and installing as per 'Installing CPAN modules' at the CPAN site and that worked ok. Regards
