Question

Hi,

am trying to use the CommentPlugin in a new topic. However when I insert the 'Comment' tag withn the page (with or without parameters) the page just hangs. I can see that I have a perl.exe. process that goes to 99% cpu usage but never completes, and the page does not refresh.

Have checked the apache error logs and nothing is reported. Have tried this in my local sandbox and still get the same problem.

For the moment, not using any htpasswd overide files in any of the directories and as far as I can see all of the 'comment' files have similar permissions to other files in their respective directories.

any suggestions appreciated,

('Configure' output is attached)

regards, Martin

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.

If you installed the plug-in after all the installation process try changing:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w to #!c:/cygwin/bin/perl -w

Have checked the files in '/twiki/bin/' (i.e. the ones with no file extension' and all appear to have the shebang line set to

#!e:/cygwin/bin/perl -wT

(where e:/cygwin is the path to my installation of cygwin)

Are there any other files I should check?

Have modified the Comments.tmpl file as follows:-

%TMPL:INCLUDE{Comments}% changed to: %TMPL:INCLUDE{CommentPlugin}%

and it now seems to be working...would appreciate any info on whether this was a 'safe' thing to do?

Yes, absolutely.

There is a known problem on the Windows platform that "Comments.tmpl" and "comments.tmpl" are the same filename as far as the OS is concerned.

This was fixed in the CommentPlugin some time ago and a new release issued. I thought it made it into 4.0.0 - I guess not.

i've updated KnownIssuesOfTWiki04x00x00 to refect that this was a problem in 4.0.0, but fixed in 4.0.1
