Question

On a new vanilla TWikiRelease04Sep2004 installation I noticed that Apache's access_log has three entries per topic view. Example:

71.141.155.229 - PeterThoeny [12/Dec/2005:08:16:47 -0800] "GET /cgi-bin/view/Prj/WebChanges HTTP/1.1" 200 24480 "/cgi-bin/view/Prj/ActivePrj" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7"
71.141.155.229 - - [12/Dec/2005:08:16:48 -0800] "GET /cgi-bin/bin/view/Prj/%USERLAYOUTURL% HTTP/1.1" 400 318 "/cgi-bin/view/Prj/WebChanges" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7"
71.141.155.229 - - [12/Dec/2005:08:16:48 -0800] "GET /cgi-bin/bin/view/Prj/%USERSTYLEURL% HTTP/1.1" 400 318 "/cgi-bin/view/Prj/WebChanges" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7"

What is going on? TWiki operates normal, but this is a performance issue.

How can this be fixed?

Answer

It looks like you haven't applied the update instructions (which are not as clear as should: KnownIssuesOfTWiki01Sep2004 points to UnresolvedVarsInURL).

Attach the file empty.css from PatternSkin to your own TWiki.PatternSkin topic. Then in your TWiki.Preferences set both USERLAYOUTURL and USERSTYLEURL to %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/empty.css.

Note that Dakar uses a better solution.
