SID-00021: TagMePlugin Error: Failed to create TagMePlugin work area

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.1.2	Perl version:	Perl 5.8.8
Category:	TagMePlugin	Server OS:	OS - Ubuntu 8.04.01	Last update:	17 years ago

I installed the TagMePlugin. If I add: Set Skin = tagme04x01,pattern an error is generated.

The error is: TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information. RCS: failed to create TagMePlugin work area. Check that {RCS}{WorkAreaDir} points to a valid directory that I can read and write t

How do I interpret {RCS}{WorkAreaDir} ? This does not appear to be a path in configure-General Path settings.

Thanks - Scott

Discussion and Answer

Run configure to find out the location. Default location is twiki/pub/_work_areas/ in TWiki 4.1, and twiki/working/work_areas/ in TWiki 4.2. Make sure that working directory it is writable by your webserver user (run configure to find out). The plugin should create a sub-directory called TagMePlugin that working directory. You can also create it manually (again it needs to be writable by your webserver user).
