Question

WSYWIG editor can't find Entities.pm when loading (and maybe when saving--didn't check since it doesn't even load right). This file doesn't seem to exist in the v4.0.1 installation package I downloaded and installed, but is apparently needed for the WSYWIG editor to work correctly?

Apache Log:

... the errors continue but this seems to be the root of the problem: There is no Entities.pm file anywhere in my installation.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Check the pre-requisites for the WYSIWYG plugin, but looks like you need to install CPAN:HTML::Entities. See WindowsInstallCookbook for use of the cpan tool to install such CPAN modules.

Thanks for this info Richard... it worked.

I have tried to install every CPAN module I could find documented as one that I might potentially need, including everything on the Configure page and a few others I've found here and there on the TWiki documentation and support pages. There doesn't seem to be a definitive list floating around.

So installing HTML::Entities works correctly which lets the WSYWIG load. It still doesn't save correctly but I believe that is basically the problem outlined in the OopsHangs topic.

Thanks again...
