Question

I've just finished installing Twiki, and when I open it in my browser I notice that some variables are not being properly filled. Some of the help topics here mentioned filling them in in the TWikiPreferences, but all of the WikiWords under "TWiki.Twiki Web:" are highlighted in yellow and followed by a "?". When I click the "?" it takes me to an Oops page which reads "The 'Twiki' web does not exist". Do I have to create the TWiki web? I thought it was the default web.

My wiki is currently at http://md1.csa.com/htbin/csawiki_bin/view.cgi

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease01Feb2003
TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: Sun 8
Web server: apache 1.3.27
Perl version: 5.6.1
Client OS: MS Windows XP
Web Browser: Mozilla 1.5

Answer

Thanks for following the SupportGuidelines and in particular for posting the testenv output and TWiki.cfg - the problem is in that file, where you say:

$twikiWebname       = "Twiki";

This should be set to "TWiki" (note the capitalisation). Since you are on a case-sensitive filesystem, all the TWiki web topics are not found, hence the various problems.

Also, see TWikiOnSolaris for details on how to install your own copy of GNU RCS and GNU diff - this may cause problems with revision tracking (the Diffs link on each page).
