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.

Check the file permissions of lib/TWiki/Plugins/TagMePlugin.pm, it needs to be readable by the webserver user. Same with data/TWiki/TagMePlugin.txt and ...txt,v.

Check the error message in the InstalledPlugins topic. Check also the Apache error logs. Enable debugging (in plugin topic), and observe output in data/debug.txt.

Also, if you are running with a perl accelerator, remember to make it reload the configuration when needed.

Some instructions for how to do this with SpeedyCGI can be found at TWikiVMDebianStable#Adding_plugins.

Peter, I tried all that yesterday before I posted the question. This morning I decided to restart apache after that the plugin is now initialized. Thanks

Excellent. It could be that you are using ModPerl in your setup. If you are making frequent changes currently you can consider disabling ModPerl (/the accelerator you are using) until your settings enter a stable phase again.
