SID-01792: Cannot authenticate in TWiki-5.1.4

Status: Answered Answered TWiki version: 5.1.4 Perl version: 5.8.8
Category: CategorySecurity Server OS: Centos 5.9 Last update: 8 years ago

on TWiki 5.1.4 i can register myself and confirming via email is working, but when requested to login(TemplateLogin with a data/.htpasswd file) i can log in successfully but i am then returned to a guest version page. if i use an incorrect password to attempt login i see an error so i can be certain that the password i am using is correct, but Twiki does not seem to be able to see that i have logged in. i'm not sure if this is relevant, but the PATH_INFO variable is detected as "/foo/configure" rather than "/foo/bar"

Discussion and Answer

Possibly a permission issue. Make sure that everything below twiki/data, twiki/pub, twiki/working is owned by the webserver user.
