Question

After we upgraded to Cairo using the upgrade script, links in the text body of our pages don't work. Their URLs have got the host/domain right, and the Wiki path and page right, but are missing the path in between; the wiki is not installed at the htdocs root, but a subdirectory down.

So a link that should be this to work: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/TWikiUsers appears in the text of the page to link to: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/Main/TWikiUsers

What variable has done us in? We haven't been able to change anything in TWiki.cfg that's made any difference. Our testenv is here: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/twiki/bin/testenv

Many thanks for help.

Answer

In twiki/lib/TWiki.cfg, make sure $scriptUrlPath is set to "twiki/bin". Also, set $dispScriptUrlPath = $scriptUrlPath;

I tried modifying TWiki.cfg: 1) changing $scriptUrlPath from /twiki/bin to twiki/bin and an example of the link was still: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/Main/TWikiUsers

2) I next inserted $dispScriptUrlPath = $scriptUrlPath; The link was then: http://serendip.brynmawr.edutwiki/bin/view/Main/twiki/bin/Main/TWikiUsers

3) I changed $scriptUrlPath back to "/twiki/bin", inserting the leading '/'; the link was then: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/twiki/bin/Main/TWikiUsers

Thank you for help, Ann

Opps, was my typo, meant to be /twiki/bin. Glad it worked out.

Isn't there still missing the scriptName (view)?

-- FranzJosefSilli - 28 Jun 2005

Yes, it's still missing the (view), and is still broken. Sorry to give the wrong impression. Ann

-- TWikiGuest - 28 Jun 2005

Not sure what is going on then. Could you attach the TWiki.cfg?

-- PeterThoeny - 29 Jun 2005

Attached. Thanks, Ann

Hm, the TWiki.cfg looks correct (at the first glance) but in this case it could be more important what's in your httpd.conf (Apache setting) and/or your setlib.cfg or even the .htaccess file. I must confess that I don't know what's wrong with your settings, but I guess it's marginal. Sorry for being of no use.

-- FranzJosefSilli - 29 Jun 2005

The httpd.conf hasn't changed since we did the upgrade. The relevant lines are:

ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ "/usr/local/apache/twiki/bin/" Alias /twiki/ "/usr/local/apache/twiki/" Options +ExecCGI SetHandler cgi-script AllowOverride All Allow from all Options FollowSymLinks +Includes AllowOverride None Allow from all deny from all deny from all

The only uncommented lines in setlib.cfg are: $twikiLibPath = '/usr/local/apache/twiki/lib'; unshift @INC, $twikiLibPath; unshift @INC, $localPerlLibPath if $localPerlLibPath;

The .htaccess file uses:

SetHandler cgi-script

We were a pretty vanilla site, hadn't changed much.

I note that $dispViewPath is missing from your TWiki.cfg. This is probably the cause of your problem. It should be:

#                   URL path to view script used to render links, relative to $dispScriptUrlPath
$dispViewPath     = "/view";

-- CrawfordCurrie - 02 Jul 2005

Yes, that must be it. Closing this question.

-- PeterThoeny - 02 Jul 2005

That was it, but we ran into further problems with code missing (such as the authentication code) from the TWiki.cfg file. It seems to be a problem with the upgrade script that we downloaded and used. I started over with a fresh copy of TWiki.cfg and customized by hand, and things are now working.

Thanks again for your help. Ann
