Likely a permission issue. Make sure all files and directories below your twiki root are owned by the webserver user (www-data on Ubuntu?)

We got a report and fix: TWikibug:Item7517 configure breaks {RCS}{filePermission} under Perl v5.18.2. This is caused by a Perl bug. The fix works around the bug.

Please apply the patch, then run configure and set {RCS}{dirPermission} to 0755, and {RCS}{filePermission} to 0644.

Hi Peter

Please any feedback ?

See HowToApplyPatch.

For a small patch like this you could also apply the changes manually. Remove the lines starting with a minus, and add lines starting with a plus.

Alternatively download the latest files that need patching from the TWiki-6.0 repository, http://svn.twiki.org/svn/twiki/branches/TWikiRelease06x00/core/
