Question

I tried upgrading to a newer Twiki, but was having problems getting it to work. I restored my backup directory and filesync says that all files are identical, but when I try to load any TWiki page I recieve the error:

Undefined subroutine &TWiki::Plugins::initializeUser called at ../lib/TWiki.pm line 296.

Please, somebody help. What could go wrong if all files are identical?

Answer

It looks like you are mixing parts of an old and new TWiki installation. On an upgrade, restore only the data and pub directories, and use the bin, lib and templates directories of the new TWiki version.

Also, set an absolute lib path in bin/setlib.cfg, your current ../lib/TWiki.pm setting indicates that you are using a relative path.
