Question

Just installed twiki for the first time, but it is not expanding any variables. Look at: http://mpeacock.demon.co.uk/twiki/bin/viewauth/Main/WebHome to see what I mean. Output from testenv looks fine although when I pick to the rcs relock option it hangs. http://mpeacock.demon.co.uk/twiki/bin/testenv

Some more information: The data directory contains a file called log200510.txt which contains stuff like this

warning.txt with stuff like this:

18 Oct 2005 - 20:27 Plugins: couldn't register CommentPlugin, no plugin topic

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.

It looks like the TWiki web where the TWikiPreferences and Plugins are cannot be found. If you renamed the TWiki web make sure to reflect that in lib/TWiki.cfg.

Also, make sure the data dir /var/www/twiki/data in lib/TWiki.cfg is actually correct.

Thanks, that gave me a clue. I needed to change the permissions on the sub directories of /var/www/twiki/data (TWiki, Main, Sandbox, etc) so that user had execute access.

Does this need adding to testenv ?

You mean the directories themselves have search permission, I hope.

Yes:

pwd /var/www/twiki/data ls -ld Main drwxrw-r-x 2 apache users 4096 Oct 22 16:39 Main
