Question

I'm a new install and am slowly working out the kinks. I can't edit Prefs, etc. because I am not logged in as an Admin user. I can't register an Admin user due to the following error (from warn*):

fileparse(): need a valid pathname at /usr/local/apache2/twiki/lib/TWiki/Store/RcsFile.pm line 112., then it refers to line 175 in the Basename.pm file. I get this error when trying to complete a registration. I checked whether rcs was installed by calling it from a command prompt in linux and it responds. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I'm guessing that you have modified either the name of the users web or the name of the directory used for registration approvals in configure. If you attach your LocalSite.cfg here this can be confirmed (change {DefaultUrlPath} and any mail addresses in the file before attaching it to foil hackers)
