Answer

Please provide more detail - see TWikiDebugging and follow some of the ideas there, and provide a link to a working testenv script if you can (download the latest one from CVSget:bin/testenv).

Also, it is best to create a topic name that summarises the problem, rather than naming it after yourself smile

The testenv output is important to understand how your server is set up. If you can't get this working, just attach the TWiki.cfg file here and describe where your TWiki bin and lib directories are located.

Response

http://mail.joako.com/cgi-bin/testenv


Clearly, testenv is not working, so please attach the TWiki.cfg file as described here. Of course, if you bother to provide more than a single URL to a non-working testenv in your response, people might be more inclined to help you...

It works fine for me and I gave that same link to another person, it also works fine for them.

http://www.joako.com/TWiki.cfg


The link works, but the testenv script is clearly not working - it generates lots of errors and as a result there is a warning/error on every single parameter that it is checking.

This is probably because testenv and other scripts can't find the TWiki.cfg file and others in the lib directory - this should be on the same level as bin, i.e. they should be in the same parent directory, and ../lib from the bin directory should find the lib directory. This is confirmed by the message from the original view script URL, which says that TWiki.pm can't be loaded.

You have still not described where your TWiki bin and lib directories are located as requested above - lack of information is making this problem unnecessarily hard to debug. Please have a look at the SupportGuidelines and remember that I am doing this in my spare time...

lib = /var/www/html/twiki/lib bin = /var/www/cgi/


As mentioned, you need to make sure that bin and lib are under the same parent directory.
