Question

I'm working on a hosted site and followed all the installation directions I could find, but I am getting an error message in the configure page: "Warning: Save is disabled; Cannot locate LocalSite.cfg. Is your setting for $twikiLibPath correct in bin/LocalLib.cfg?", and this seems to result in 4 more errors and 6 warnings. I checked and double-checked and triple-checked the settings in LocalLib.cfg and it all looks good. I also checked file permissions and everything is read/write by me, and all exes are executable by "other", which is how Sonic has told me to do it.

I am working on sonic.net, which has a "cgi-wrap" feature for better security.

I have attached the the configure html page for your reference.

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.

My guess is your problem is with the previous line "CGI bin directory". Your LocalLib defines ../lib, which is relative to the CGI bin directory, which there seems to be a problem resolving.

You can try setting LocalLib to point to an absolute file path e.g. /usr/local/twiki/lib but there are likely to be other problems resulting from the failure to resolve the CGI bin directory.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll check this out, I suspect this is related to my attempts to use Sonic's more secure "cgi-wrap" technology.

It appears that cgiwrap is setting the directory for $ENV(SCRIPT_FILENAME) to /opt/apache/bin/cgwirap. This actually doesn't exist from my shell login. How do I override this to use the "real" directory? Has anybody successfully installed Twiki under cgiwrap?

Changing status, looking for more help...

More information. I was able to run configure outside of cgiwrap. Now its returning a different CGI-BIN path which is also not actually there, at least from my shell account. Argh

See attached file configure-nocgiwrap to see what that looks like...

-- DavidVanCouvering - 25 Aug 2006

I figured out the problem while running outside of cgiwrap - I needed to make all files readable to everyone. But I still very much would like to run inside cgiwrap for better security...

One month passed, closing this question as unanswered.
