Question

Hi

To speed up our twiki site, I have added the use of modperl in my TWiki installation (TWiki-4.0.4-2, Tue, 23 Jul 2006, build 10807, Plugin API version 1.1). To have something working, I had to add the path to the TWiki lib in mod_perl_startup.pl

> more mod_perl_startup.pl 
$ENV{MOD_PERL} =~ /mod_perl/ or die "mod_perl_startup called, but mod_perl not used!";
use lib qw( /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/twiki/bin /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/twiki/lib );
require 'setlib.cfg';
1;

I had already

$twikiLibPath = "/sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/twiki/lib"; in LocalLib.cfg.

Before all worked fine(diff, search ...). Now I can just view the topic.

When I use the diff :

| 29 Nov 2006 - 17:16 | exec failed(/sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/tools/bin/rcsdiff  -q -w -B -r%REVISION1|N% -r%REVISION2|N% -ko --unified=%CONTEXT|N
% %FILENAME|F%): No such file or directory at /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/twiki/lib/TWiki/Sandbox.pm line 319.

but

> ls -l /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/tools/bin/rcsdiff
-rwxr-xr-x   1 karim w3atlasf  458752 Sep  4 12:03 /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/tools/bin/rcsdiff

and a similar error when I try to save a new topic (or to modify it and save it).

The webserver is apache2 running on SunOS. I have installed the GNU tools for grep ...

In the apache conf file of our site (I am not the administrator of the webserver), we have

...
  PerlRequire /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/twiki/tools/mod_perl_startup.pl
  # Turn on taint checking
  PerlSwitches -T

</VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>

Thanks for any advice.

Karim

You both use atlas and atlasfrance and you have site and sites

Are those typos in this topic or have you mixed it all up?

Sorry those are only typos, things are not mixed in the configuration files.

It sounds very much like the path to the rcsdiff program is wrong.

-- CrawfordCurrie - 02 Jan 2007

the path to rcsdiff is correct :

> ls -l /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/tools/bin/rcsdiff
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kbernard w3atlasf 458752 Sep 4 12:03 /sites/atlasfrance/cgi-bin/tools/bin/rcsdiff

and I hadnt any problem brfore using modperl

I suggest you enable tracing in the Sandbox module (open lib/TWiki/Sandbox.pm, and set TRACE to on - it's explained in the file). Then run the diff command. The real command that TWiki tried to run should be output in the webserver error log. Copy that command and paste it on the command line, and observe what error messages are returned.

Sorry, closing this question after more than 30 days...
