Question

I have deployed a TWiki on windows platform based on IndigoPerlCookBook

I followed exactly. It was working except for..

Backlink is not working. It displays zero result.

The parent topic also couldn't identify the child topic when viewing under "more topic actions".

However, it is able to identify references when deleting a parent topic.

What additional settings are required ?

I have found the answer finally. After doing trial and error here and there.

There is nothing wrong with the codes TWiki 4.1.2(Edinburgh) 03 March 2007.

It is about the setting for EGrep and FGrep (Configuration/Store Settings).

You can still follow exactly the IndigoPerlCookBook. And provide the EGrep and FGrep settings as the follows:

{RCS}{EgrepCmd} set it to:

c:\progra~1\GnuWin32\bin\grep.exe -E %CS{|-i}% %DET{|-l}% -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F%

{RCS}{FgrepCmd} set it to:

c:\progra~1\GnuWin32\bin\grep.exe -F %CS{|-i}% %DET{|-l}% -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F%

Basically, I got to these findings by comparing the configuration apple to apple with TWikiWindowsPersonal, which by default the "backlink" works. And it doesn't require any configuration!

And it works. "Backlinks" works!

However, for the listing of "child topics" under more topic actions, by providing such settings doesn't get the listing out yet. But I think it is not practical to show it there when there are many "child topics"

I updated the IndigoPerlCookbook with Brandon's solution.
