Hi,

From the existing Twiki plugins, I have installed KinoSearchAddon plugin.

But while searching it is throwing "Internal server error"

My apache error log shows below errors:

Discussion and Answer

As I mentioned in the SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOnDev topic, this add-on is marked as tested only on TWiki-4.3 and 4.2. I just looked at the code, it needs some work to run on TWiki-5.0 and later. TWiki-5.0 introduced its own CGI engine, so scripts of TWiki extensions need to be fixed. If you are a developer I invite you to enhance this add-on and contribute this back to the community. If not and yoy need timely help I recommend to hire a TWiki consultant. That is how you can support the TWiki open source project.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
