Question

I have been setting up TWiki, migrating data from an old TWiki installation and updating the content as I go. I had the system working, short of mod_perl, until I edited the TWikiPreferences topic. I chaged a bunch of stuff, mostly cosmetic, but also removing some custom variables and values that I'll no longer be needing.

However, after previewing and then saving, The page displayed the following error, and displays it no matter what topic or web I try to view, preview, or edit:

Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^view.theoretic ++ <-- HERE  HTTP-EQUIV Settings.tmpl$/ 
at ../../lib/TWiki/Store.pm line 986.

I have looked in the code, but can't make heads or tails of it.

CANCEL: Nevermind, I solved the problem by just unzipping the TWiki distro, extracting the TWikiPreferences page, and replacing my damaged copy with that, re-doing the values for the settings. It now works. Thanks anyway.
