Question

I have a very strange problem. When I use activestate perl the twiki configure script will run but rcs will not work.

To solve this problem I thought I would use Cygwin Perl. However when i change the header in each perl script to #!c:/cygwin/bin/perl and try to run the configure script I get an "Internal Server Error".

However if I make a simple helloworld perl script using the head #!c:/cygwin/bin/perl it works.

This problem is really annoying me and I need to make this twiki ASAP.

Thank-you for taking your time in reading my questions.

ALERT! 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.

For any "Internal Server Error", there should be more information in Apache's web server log. In your case, I'd guess that either on Cygwin Perl some modules which are essential to TWiki are missing, or you have some windows paths in TWiki's lib/LocalSite.cfg written by Activestate Perl which break cygwin Perl.
