Question

I just upgraded to 4.1.1 from 4.1.0 and now get a 500 Internal Server Error message at the following URL

http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure

The Apache error log has the following lines

[Wed Feb 21 18:01:47 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't create child process: 720003: configure

[Wed Feb 21 18:01:47 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't spawn child process: C:/twiki/bin/configure

I have verified that the file c:/twiki/bin/configure exists and it is timestamped as the time that is the same as the configure file in the upgrade 4.1.1.zip download file.

I restarted Apache after the upgrade.

Can you please advise? Thanks

How did you incorporate the apache settings? Are you using the new bit of twik_httpd.conf, which puts heavy security on configure. Also, make sure the #!/bin/perl got re-written to your actual perl path. (tools/rewriteshbang.pl - you may have to temporarily change the bin script permissions to run it)

I am getting this same error. I am using apache 2.2 on a Windows 2003 server. I have changed the #!/bin/perl to the correct location. In my httpd.conf file I inserted a line to incorporate the twiki.conf file into apache so that I could keep the file configurations seperate in case I later want to make this site a virtual host. I can access the main page and other sub pages but not the configure page. Does anyone have other ideas about what would be denying access? I did set allow all from localhost.
