Question

Trying to use INCLUDE to pull information from external site

I was getting this error:

Warning This site does not allow INCLUDE of URLs

I went into the configuration menu and checked the check box :

{INCLUDE}{AllowURLs}

Now, I getting the following error:

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, (email) and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Is this a bug? Has anyone else had this problem?

-- DonStenson - 08 Jul 2008

The entries in your error log indicate that the error is caused by Plugins.ObjectPlugin, so as a first shot you can try to disable that plugin in /bin/configure. If the error disappears, you should drop a note on Plugins.ObjectPluginDev.

-- HaraldJoerg - 08 Jul 2008

Don,

If you look at the documentation for INCLUDE you can see that TWiki does a fair amount of processing of the included external page.

You may wish to try some of the "disable...." parameters to see if any of those make a difference. I would start with disablecompresstags="on"

-- DuncanKinnear - 01 Sep 2008

Oops, just followed the link I put in for the INCLUDE documentation and the new version of INCLUDE does not appear to have the "disable...." parameters. We are running version 4.1.1.

See the old version of INCLUDE here

Sorry, closing after more than 30 days. Please reopen with more details if needed...
