SID-00851: Twiki Passwd Reset Script Missing

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	perl, v5.8.8
Category:	CategoryError	Server OS:	CentOS 5.4	Last update:	15 years ago

I had done an upgrade to the latest Twiki (4.3.2) and when my users go to the password reset form "Please visit http://intranet.highbeam.com/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/ChangePassword" and do a reset it 404's them as there's no passwd script at http://intranet.highbeam.com/twiki/bin/passwd/TWiki/WebHome.

Can I fix the form? I just downloaded 4.3.2 again and the /home/httpd/twiki/bin scripts folder has no passwd file. Thanks all.

Discussion and Answer

Change password is now handled by the manage script. It looks like you are mixing TWiki versions. Make sure to use the TWiki web of the 4.3.2 distribution. Renamed the old one to TWikiOld or the like - do that on shell level with twiki/data/TWiki/ and twiki/pub/TWiki/.

I've got /home/httpd/twiki/data/TWiki and /home/httpd/twiki/pub/TWiki. You mean one is old and one is new (and both need to be at 4.3.2)? Looks like all my data is in /home/httpd/twiki/data/Main so I'd lose my user data if I renamed that folder.

All these need to be of exactly the same TWiki version: /home/httpd/twiki/bin, /home/httpd/twiki/lib, /home/httpd/twiki/tools, /home/httpd/twiki/locale, /home/httpd/twiki/templates, /home/httpd/twiki/data/TWiki and /home/httpd/twiki/pub/TWiki. When you upgrade it is best to do a fresh installation and copy existing content from the old TWiki to the new one. See TWikiUpgradeGuide.
