Question

Followed the guide about installing TWiki on XP, namely the security of Cygwin part, but nonetheless when running testenv with the -wT option I get the "Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at c:\twiki\bin\testenv line 257" message

The only main difference in the installation is that instead of editing the TWiki.cfg file, in the /twiki/lib directory I have created a LocalSite.cfg file which has also been changed by the bin/configure script (I am appending that).

I do not know if the error might lie here since the testenv script says:

PATH /c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:.

while in my LocalSite.cfg I have:

$safeEnvPath = "/bin";

The C:\cygwin directory has a security policy (not inherited) of full control for Admin, bob, SYSTEM (and also for CREATOR OWNER even if it shows up only in advanced) and a Read/Execute for Users

The subdirectories of c:\cygwin have inherited the same security policies. For examples see

In cygwin bash the file modes seem allright:

Thank you for any help.

Bob

PS This is my very first TWiki entry so please be patient

Thank you very much Peter-san.

I begin to suspect that the problem is not Win32 related but related to some error on my behalf in specifying the SafePath

Take care, Bob
