Question

Hi All,

I have a TWiki Site 4.0.4, I had my site updated (with hotfix 4.0.4-3 ) and after this, links like

https://twiki.org or [[https://ww.twiki.org]]

don't work anymore.

Does anybody have any idea?

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.

What version did you update from?

I use this feature all the time and it works fine in 4.0.4-4 and earlier hotfix levels.

For attachments you need to update to 4.0.4-4 (hotfix 4) because hotfix 3 introduced an error with the naming of attachments when uploading with Internet explorer.

Another good information would be to see your LocalSite.cfg file (remember to remove the configure password before posting it).

Also - do you have the right domain defined in the Apache config?

Does the http links render at wrong links or do they not render as links at all? And if they are wrong - how are they wrong?

It is impossible to answer questions about problems if we just get told that there is a problem.

We had the same problem; we needed to add this configuration parameter to TWiki.cfg under the "Miscellaneous" section. In trying to preserve our configuration, we had not overwritten the TWiki.cfg file and this setting was externalized sometime after 4.0.0:

# **STRING 120**
# <span class="twikiAlert">EXPERT</span> List of protocols (URI schemes) that TWiki will 
# automatically recognize and activate if found in absolute links.
# Additions you might find useful in your environment could be 'imap' or 'pop'
# (if you are using shared mailboxes accessible through your browser), or 'tel'
# if you have a softphone setup that supports links using this URI scheme. A list of popular URI schemes can be
# found at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme</a>.
$cfg{LinkProtocolPattern} = '(file|ftp|gopher|https|http|irc|mailto|news|nntp|telnet)';
