Question

I get this error while adding a new web from ManagingWebs :

Template file oopsaccessmanage.tmpl not found or template directory /var/www/html/twiki/templates not found.

Check the $templateDir variable in TWiki.cfg

I checked twiki/templates; It does not have the file oopsaccessmanage.tmpl.

Environment

-- TWikiGuest - 20 May 2004

Answer

Disclaimer: This is by far not an official answer.

I got exactly the same problem on a slightly different setup (Fedora Core 1). What I did was to symlink the file oopsaccesscreateweb.tmpl to oopsaccessmanage.tmpl . But that's not your real problem - it just tells you don't have permission to create that new web. In order to solve that you'll have to read TWikiAccessControl, etc. In my specific case, it turned out I was trying to create the web with the TWikiGuest user. So I closed the browser completely, opened a fresh one, logged in as one of the users in the TWikiAdminGroup, and created it.

Thanks a lot I symlinked oopsaccesscreateweb.tmpl to oopsaccessmanage.tmpl and it gave a proper access denied error. Then I added my username to TWikiAdminGroup. But still I could not create a new web since accessing any page in /bin was not asking me for the auth dialog box. Adding Require valid-user to .htaccess sovled the problem.
