arlie: trying to install twiki on Ubuntu, and while I thought I knew my way around *n*x of all kinds, and your docs looked simple, I'm being baffled by perl.
PeterThoeny: arlie: what issues do you run into?
arlie: I'm getting BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /disk1/www/twiki/lib//TWiki.pm line 575.
Compilation failed in require at /disk1/www/twiki/bin/view line 41.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /disk1/www/twiki/bin/view line 41.
Looks like it wants Twiki.pm, which is in twiki/lib, but it's not seeing it
which sort of makes sense - twiki dir isn't in perl's normal search path, but ...
PeterThoeny: did you create the LocalLib.cfg in twiki/bin?
arlie: hmm - yes, but didn't do anything re perl modules because I was figuring "I'm root here"
guessing that's where I went wrong
PeterThoeny: edit LocalLib.cfg and set $twikiLibPath
arlie: hmm, that I did, but let me check if i did it right
PeterThoeny: make sure that everything below twiki is owned by the webserver user (www-data on ubuntu?)
$twikiLibPath = "/disk1/www/twiki/lib";
arlie: *blink* you're looking at my mess ;-)
PeterThoeny: did you use the apache config generator?
arlie: yes
my level of apache-foo would have had me researching for hours otherwise
PeterThoeny: so, is LocalLib.cfg correct now? what message do you get when running configure?
run configure from the browser
arlie: http://ansuz.worldash.org/wiki/view/ still gives me the same error
PeterThoeny: did you run configure?
arlie: I presume it should be taking me to run configure
PeterThoeny: no, first run configure & do all config, then run view
arlie: oh - that's my goof.
got confused about what url led to configure, then hit this
this looks saner
Thanks, and I apologize for bugging you with a clueless newbie error
PeterThoeny: np
does view work now?
arlie: still doing config - got interrupted with noncomputer stuff ;-)
better - I've got welcome to twiki etc. some kind of display botch in firefox, but much much better
PeterThoeny: in case css and images are missing, check {PubUrlPath} and {PubDir}
