Question

I'm trying to set up authentication on a win2003 server via editing the .htaccess file, and keep getting the error:

Undefined subroutine &Digest::SHA1::sha1 called at ../lib/TWiki/User/HtPasswdUser.pm line 102

when I click register for a new user. When i look at the apache error log, I also see an additional error, from the sessionplugin:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ../lib/TWiki/Plugins/SessionPlugin.pm line 163.\n

Everything installed just fine during the initial setup of the twiki installation, so I haven't reinstalled anything from cpan.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ? I have seen some of the other threads regarding this issue, but they were dated pretty old, and removing the # on line 27 in register.pm isnt possible, as the text referred to doesnt seem to exist on the sept. release.

Help appreciated

Answer

It's a bit disturbing that it appears you have Digest::SHA1 installed (otherwise I would expected a 'use' error), but that the sha1 method is not there! See http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Digest-SHA1/Digest/SHA1.html for documentation of the SHA1 module.

All I can suggest is that you try downloading and installing the Digest::SHA1 perl module again.

Hi

I have a "mess around" and a clean install of Twiki on two Win2003 servers. On the mess around install I keep getting this issue, On the clean, no plugins installed server, I got authentication up and working at once, no hassle, which means I'll have to take a look at the installed plugins on my mess-around server. I'll install the plugings one by one to see which one givces grief on the "clean" server. I'm working in a company that needs documentaion/read restrictions, so I can't NOT have authentication. List of installed plugins in next comment

Thanks again

Oh - and the "mess around" server is in no way a box with erroneous configs - it's where I work out stuff before I put it into production on the other box
