Question

This is my first time to setup Twiki on my web server. After getting the testenv script, it reports tons of error messages. I have no idea how to figure it out.

Is there anybody can help me?

You may try the following url to get the error message:

http://neoworld.unl.edu/twiki/bin/testenv

BTW, I am using the LocalLib.cfg and LocalSite.cfg.

> cat LocalSite.cfg
# Example site-specific configuration file for TWiki, held in 'lib' directory. # # This is distributed as LocalSite.cfg.txt - if for some reason you can't, # or don't want to, use configure to manage your site configuration, you can # copy this file to LocalSite.cfg edit it manually. # # LocalSite.cfg overrides TWiki.cfg, so there is no risk of your settings # being overwritten when you upgrade. # # Only the most commonly used settings are listed in LocalSite.cfg.txt # See TWiki.cfg to copy across the other (seldom changed) settings # # Use 'LocalLib.cfg' in the 'bin' directory to configure non-standard # locations for the 'lib' directory or Perl modules. #

# NOTE: If your server is running Microsoft Windows, paths should # normally be written as "c:/foo" not "c:\foo" (which doesn't do what # you may think it does). You can use '\' without problems inside # single quotes, e.g. 'c:\foo'.

# If LocalSite.cfg is used (and it should be), then all the # following paths muct be defined.

# URL for TWiki host e.g. http://myhost.com:123 $cfg{DefaultUrlHost} = 'http://neoworld.unl.edu';

# cgi-bin URL path for TWiki e.g. /twiki/bin $cfg{ScriptUrlPath} = '/twiki/bin';

# Attachments URL path e.g. /twiki/pub $cfg{PubUrlPath} = '/twiki/pub';

# Attachments store file path (not URL), must match /twiki/pub e.g. # /usr/local/twiki/pub $cfg{PubDir} = '/home/twiki/pub';

# SECURITY NOTE: Directories twiki/data , twiki/templates and all their # subdirectories should be set so that they are not visible through # URLs. (Alternatively, move the directories to a place where they are # not visible, and set the paths here as appropriate)

# Template directory e.g. /usr/local/twiki/templates $cfg{TemplateDir} = '/home/twiki/templates';

# Topic files store (file path not URL) e.g. /usr/local/twiki/data # TWiki will use this path to base other defaults, such as the location # of password files. $cfg{DataDir} = '/home/twiki/data';

# TWiki.cfg will use this path to default where to put log files, unless # you override individual paths here. $cfg{LogDir} = $cfg{DataDir};

Answer

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.

Please run /bin/configure and have a look at the error messages there. Does the file /home/twiki/lib/TWiki.pm exist? Has the user id running your web server read access to all directories under /home/twiki? Or is there some problem between your URL and file namespaces?

Thanks, after running the configuration, it points me out some errors and warinings. Now, it is fixed. But the testenv still shows some strange information about the directory stuffs ...

Since Dakar release, testenv is replaced by configure, you can safely remove testenv.
