ALERT! 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 suspect you have managed to corrupt either your TWiki.cfg or your LocalSite.cfg.

Check these files for the following string at the start of a line:

# **G
If you find it, remove one of the *'s and try configure again.

Great - the hint.

I would have never guessed that you analyze the comment part of TWiki.cfg.

For the records: In fact it was an addition required by GenPdfAddOn. It wants to get the path of htmldoc program. I've added the section

# **GenPdf**
#
$htmldocCmd = "....path..."

This was the reason for the mysterious error message.

Removing the one of the two stars solved my problem. Thanks.

Hmm, TWiki ought to be able to pick up configurations of extensions without editing TWiki.cfg...
