Question

I have the Calendar plugin installed with all dependencies. The trouble is that it will only work perhaps 1 time out of 10. For example, I have a page with the "%CALENDAR%" tag on it, 9 times I load the page it will display the tag, and on the tenth time it will actually display the calendar. If I keep reloading the page, the calendar will stay for a reload or two, then go back to displaying the tag again.

Likewise the CalendarPlugin? entry will appear and disappear from the ...twiki/bin/view/TWiki/InstalledPlugins page in the same pattern.

There is nothing in the Apache error log nor the Plugin diagnostics.

I've just installed ActionTracker? plugin and it is behaving in the same way, except that it only works maybe 1 reload in 20.

Solved my own problem. I don't understand why, but changing a symlink in the webroot to a normal directory fixed it. Was:

drwxr-xr-x   2 webservd webservd     512 Oct 17 15:27 bin
drwxr-xr-x  15 webservd webservd     512 Oct 18 10:12 perlmodules
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          11 Oct 10 12:11 twiki -> twiki-4.1.2
drwxr-xr-x   9 webservd webservd    1024 Oct 18 08:31 twiki-4.1.2
-rw-r--r--   1 webservd webservd    7673 Oct 10 16:14 twiki_httpd.conf

Is now:

drwxr-xr-x   2 webservd webservd     512 Oct 17 15:27 bin
drwxr-xr-x  15 webservd webservd     512 Oct 18 10:12 perlmodules
drwxr-xr-x   9 webservd webservd    1024 Oct 18 08:31 twiki
-rw-r--r--   1 webservd webservd    7673 Oct 10 16:14 twiki_httpd.conf
