Question

I am suddenly receiving the following error message when I try to make any changes via the configure script:

"Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at (eval 41) line 23."

This error is appearing on both old and new installations. I came across it tonight when I was trying to install the latest version of TWiki for a client.

This is happening on all of my servers which btw are whm/cpanel servers. Any assistance in trouble-shooting would be helpful.

This happened for me too. This was a running installation. I thought something has gone wrong and when I tried a fresh install, I came across this. The server runs CentOS 5/Redhat EL5, perl 5.8.8, Apache 2.2.3

I have come across a work around. Just remove the "-w" flag in the perl shebang line within the configure script.

Oh wait, the cpanel file editor was changing the permissions (grr), I reset them to 555 and it works
