Question

I'm pretty sure that I've got my path settings right (this would be my third working TWiki install on the same host if it worked), but my twiki/bin/view.pl redirects to twiki/bin/oops.pl/twiki/bin/view/Pl?template=oopsaccessdenied;def=no_such_web;param1=view with the error "The 'twiki/bin/view' web does not exist". I've got the script suffix set up correctly, and the "PATH_INFO" test in configure's CGI Setup works as specifed.

This is perhaps related to AreTWiki41PerlModuleReqsExcessive and Bugs 3476, with which I'm also struggling. Configure still complains that my CGI::Carp, File::Copy, File::Find, IO::File are not up to the "required" version. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find newer versions of those modules to install locally w/o also requiring Perl 5.8.x, which I can't get on my remote host.

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.

Update: after getting a few more minor modules worked out (not the ones mentioned above), I can get twiki/bin/view.pl/Main/WebHome just fine, but twiki/bin/view.pl gives precisely the same error as before.

What about permissions of the twiki/templates directory and its files? Are they readable by your cgi user?

-- PeterThoeny - 24 Jan 2007

The directory is 755 and the files are 444.

Do you need the .pl extension?

It may be this that breaks the short URL redirect to WebHome.

Many adds these suffixes for no good reason.

Yes, my remote host absolutely requires it.
