Question

Hello, I finnally got Twiki installed. I can browse around just fine but whenever i try to make any changes including those I make to users I get the following error.

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

Base class package "HTML::Parser" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first, or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: path . path-linux-thread-multi path path-linux-thread-multi path path path path path path path-linux-thread-multi path path path path path path path path-linux-thread-multi path path).

I checked the log files and there is on entry for about the time i tried the change but it is incredibly long. If you would like to see it please tell me.

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.

It appears that you need to install the Perl module HTML::Parser. I'm not sure about how the package is called in Fedora, could be perl-HTML-parser or libhtml-parser-perl.

Background: The WYSIWYG editor of TWiki 4.2 needs HTML::Parser. The dependency is listed on WysiwygPlugin, and its existence ought to be checked during bin/configure. Maybe that's simply missing from some dependency list in WysiwygPlugin...

I also try to edit pages, I get error message: Error 500, Internal Server Error. Same things happens when i try to create a new topic.

Jagjit: What was the error log message?

I had the same problem. I figured out that this is because HTML::Parser cannot be installed properly. I had finally worked around the problem using the comments on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=345820
