Answer

Is this on a web hosting site? In any case, please attach the testenv output here, as requested in SupportGuidelines, and also provide details of any server error log messages etc for a non-Testenv URL, e.g. when trying to View a page using path info. This may require a TWiki code fix.

It is on a web hosting site. I am still installing Twiki so do not have other messages. You will notice that the testenv did not find a number of directories - they are there and I assume that the two issues are related. -- DavidAndrew

Hi - as frequently happens, the testenv output is much more useful than a brief note - in fact this is not a PATHINFO problem at all (the testenv proves this is working OK).

The problem looks like permissions - check the permissions on the directories and files that have errors in testenv, and that they exist with exactly that path (e.g. /twiki/data is the full filename, not the URL). It's most likely that the path is wrong, since I doubt a webhosting site would let you create /twiki unless you have a very unusual setup.
