Question

* Membership Activaton Failure * When user put in confirmation code and submit, following error pops up in the browser: TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information. path -i -t-none -ko %FILENAME|F% of c:path,v failed to create history file

Looks like it's some kind of file control/ownership problem, and if I run the RCS command under cygwin shell, it works and creates the user file (e.g **.txt,v) I've been following up installing guide very carefelly to set the file access control, and this error really freaks me out, I don't know what to do next!!!

I really appreciate if any one can help me on this issue, thank you so much!

Answer

RCS is pretty unreliable under Cygwin; most installers use RcsLite instead. I would expect there to be more information in the apache error log than you give. There are quite a few topics on installing on windows in the Codev web; you should search there.
