SID-00936: TWiki can't see CPAN modules

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.0	Perl version:	5.10.0
Category:	CategoryPlugins	Server OS:	Mac OS X Snow Leopard	Last update:	1 year ago

I have recently created a new TWiki to replace an old out-dated wiki style site, I have managed to get everything working as I need it short of one remaining issue.

TWiki seems to refuse to acknowledge the presence of 3rd party modules (namely Date::Calc) the everyone group has full read/write access to the folders in question and the TWiki does say it is looking at the correct directories for the files but for some reason will not see them causing plugins to not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Discussion and Answer

Is Date::Calc in the Perl INC path? If you have installed it in a non-standard location you can tell TWiki to look there. See twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg

Well that definatly sorted the original problem I had, however a new one has developed with the ImageGallery plugin, for some reason it is chucking back the error:

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

Can't locate Imagepath in @INC (@INC contains: path . path-thread-multi-2level path path-thread-multi-2level path path-thread-multi-2level path path-thread-multi-2level path path path-thread-multi-2level path path-calcpath path path path-thread-multi-2level path path)

I was wondering if you could provide some insight on what may be causing this and how I could go about fixing it.

Forgot to mention, from what I can tell ImageMagick as well as PerlMagick seem to be installed correctly as this seems to have been an issue with the other people that have had this error - it is possible I have not installed them correctly but I have no idea on how to test the PerlMagick

Any help greatly appreciated.

On the internal error, check the Apache error_log.
