Question

I have installed the BugsContrib Add-On and it appears to be installed properly. But I don't see it as a web. I'm new to Linux and TWiki and need a little direction. If I try to add a new web with the name "Bugs" I get this error:

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

RCS: copy path to path failed: Permission denied

Can someone give me a little education?

Answer

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.

Make sure all files under twiki/data and twiki/pub are owned and writable by the user Apache is using.

I have changed them all to be owned by apache with read and write access. I have seen no changes. Should a Bugs web just appear? When I try to add it as a new web, it still gives me the same error as mentioned above.

-- JonasShearer - 15 May 2007

Jonas, yes, the BugsContrib is nothing special - it sounds like you're having TWiki troubles more than anything else.

i'd suggest doing an ls -al in the twiki/data directory (and the twiki/pub one)

you'll (or we) probably see that the permissions are wrong, and so the apache user does not have permission to see the files in twiki/data/Bugs

trying to create the web, with it already existing should only result in an error

Here is what lists when I run the command in the 3 directories:

I agree, it sure looks like its there, and ready for your use. When you say don't see it as a web do you mean it does not sow up in the weblist? or that you cannot type in the url to that web manually and get success?

-- SvenDowideit - 22 May 2007

Actually both. It does not appear on the Web list. If I manually type it I get;
