Question

The "more topic actions" is not working on a couple webs on our Twiki site. When you click on the "more topic actions" link, the following error pops up:

"TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

c:path~1path -E -i -l -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F% Grep for '%META:TOPICPARENT[{].*name=\"(RasEngineering\.)?PropAWACS080081\".*[}]%' returned error"

This only occurs on 2 of the 9 webs we have. In the above example, the RasEngineering is one of the faulty webs. Every topic within this web is affected. The other 7 webs seem to be working properly.

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.

most likely, you have a topic with a strange filename in this web

What kind of filename would cause this? In the meantime I'll go through the index and see if anything looks odd.

Assuming I find something, how would I delete that topic with the "more topic actions" not working?

A look through the index does not show anything odd. A few topics with rather long names (65 characters), but I'm not aware of name length limitations.

Looks like we fixed this. Don't completely understand the reason, but when we switched the {RCS}{SearchAlgorithm} from "forking" to PurePerl the problem went away.
