Question

I just upgraded to 4.1.1 from 4.1.0 and now get a 500 Internal Server Error message at the following URL

http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure

The Apache error log has the following lines

[Wed Feb 21 18:01:47 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't create child process: 720003: configure

[Wed Feb 21 18:01:47 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't spawn child process: C:/twiki/bin/configure

I have verified that the file c:/twiki/bin/configure exists and it is timestamped as the time that is the same as the configure file in the upgrade 4.1.1.zip download file.

I restarted Apache after the upgrade.

Can you please advise? Thanks

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.

How did you incorporate the apache settings? Are you using the new bit of twik_httpd.conf, which puts heavy security on configure. Also, make sure the #!/bin/perl got re-written to your actual perl path. (tools/rewriteshbang.pl - you may have to temporarily change the bin script permissions to run it)

I am getting this same error. I am using apache 2.2 on a Windows 2003 server. I have changed the #!/bin/perl to the correct location. In my httpd.conf file I inserted a line to incorporate the twiki.conf file into apache so that I could keep the file configurations seperate in case I later want to make this site a virtual host. I can access the main page and other sub pages but not the configure page. Does anyone have other ideas about what would be denying access? I did set allow all from localhost.
