Question

Im having issues with the ThreadedDiscussionPlugin. Everything seems to indicate that it is installed correctly, however the links for edit and comment dont work. I get an internal server error.

The apache log has the following line...

[Fri Jan 20 12:20:51 2006] [error] [client 172.16.50.5] (2)No such file or directory: couldn't spawn child process: c:/twiki/bin/editthread

in the /twiki/debug.txt file i find the following.

20 Jan 2006 - 11:15 - TWiki::Plugins::ThreadedDiscussionPlugin::initPlugin( TWiki.WebChangesAlert ) is OK
20 Jan 2006 - 11:15 - ThreadedDiscussionPlugin::startRenderingHandler( TWiki )
20 Jan 2006 - 11:15 - ThreadedDiscussionPlugin::startRenderingHandler( TWiki )
20 Jan 2006 - 11:15 - ThreadedDiscussionPlugin::startRenderingHandler( TWiki )

I noticed that TWiki::Plugins:: is missing from the last 3. Is this possibly the cause?

Answer

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.

These are just debug messages the Plugin author chose to print. The Apache error_log is telling that it can't find editthread. I am not familiar with this Plugin, on Windows you possibly need to rename the script to editthread.cgi and fix the suffix in the Plugin.

Hi Peter.

Thanks for your help. I tried it out with no success. I still get the same error message in my apache log.

The code for the plugin seems a bit odd to me:

    my $eurl = TWiki::Func::getScriptUrlPath() . "/editthread.cgi/$web/$topic";
    $text .= "$editLabel";
    $text .= " ";
    $text .= "$commentLabel";
    return $text;

any more help would be much appreciated.

Bueno.... Ive fixed the problem it was the shebang line in the editthread.

Thanks for your help.
