Bugs concerning the unofficial Debian package

There is an unofficial package for Debian (see TWikiOnDebian)

I'd like to record a few problems I found on it :

• /etc/twiki/LocalSite.cfg contains mentions of plugins that are not parts of the default installation (probably inherited from last versions)
  • fixed in 4.0.5-1 - SD
• the locale subdir is not present (but if I add it, and enable I18n, it doesn't work... so dunno, maybe in purpose ?)
  • fixed in 4.0.5-1 - SD
• /etc/twiki/.htaccess seems to contain an IP address which will not suit every cases
  • yeah, thats not a great compromise, but i'm reqlly quite worried that people can hijack an installed, but not yet customised twiki

Any bugs relating to official Debian packages should go into debian's bugtracker; of course.

Discussion

Using this debian package, I consistantly get "[Tue Oct 31 13:52:07 2006] [crit] [client 130.144.250.113] configuration error: couldn't check access. No groups file?" ...when trying to log in with a correct (according to .htaccess) username and password.

Is this a known problem?

Make sure that all of your authorization/authentication modules are being loaded. I'm running etch and saw that message after the upgrade to apache 2.2. For apache 2.2 at least, I needed auth_basic, authn_file, authz_groupfile, authz_user. (Some of those may be overkill)

I'm working with a debian developer to get 4.0.5 uploaded - the packages at http://members.iinet.net.au/~spos are not so much unofficial, as a staging area for the real thing - so thankyou for the bug reports, and please keep them coming
