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.

In most cases (of a 500) its a wrong file permissions and/or ownerships.

Please make sure:

• ownerships are set to the same user, the webserver runs the perl scripts with
• all scripts in bin/ have the x attribute set
• Perl is in the expected location (as stated by every scripts shebang) (default is /usr/bin/perl)

TWiki does not use RDBMS as storage backends. Currently it uses flat files. There is a slight chance, that mysql may be one possible alternative backend for the upcomming TWiki 5.0.
