Can anyone help? I think it has something to do with this SASL perlmodule. But how could this be? I couldn't find anyone else on twiki.org who had the same error.

I am not aware of the core TWiki using Authen::SASL. It could be required by one of the additional extensions.

In any case, please learn HowToInstallCpanModules.

I've got the same issue, using the VMWare download. Could be an issue with the initial configuration inside the VMWare download I guess. I'm far from a Linux expert so hopefully someone who is can figure this out for us.

-- ScottRapsey - 17 Jan 2007

The VMWare download is missing the Authen:SASL . Our Systemadministrator fixed this issue. He told that he took the Authen:SASL from www.debian.org.

You can install it, by logging into your VWWare-console and start the automatical update with apt-get install libauthen-sasl-perl

This should also work for you, if you are using the Debian-based VMWare.

I wonder why this module isn't includet in the VMWare-installation from twiki.org ...

-- MathiasReiche - 18 Jan 2007

This is probably due to the way TWikiVMDebianStable has been configured - it certainly doesn't normally require the CPAN:Authen::SASL module in the default installation.

I'll put a note in TWikiVMComments.
