I do an installation of the latest TWiki version on a standard SuSE 10.2 server. - I followed the TWiki installation guide (http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki04x03/TWikiInstallationGuidehttp://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki04x03/TWikiInstallationGuidehttp://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki04x03/TWikiInstallationGuide)

- I ran TWiki:TWiki.ApacheConfigGenerator

Finally, I wanted to resart my apache2 server, which fails with th efollowing meassage in /var/log/error_log :

[Wed Jul 08 15:51:53 2009] [error] Can't locate TWiki/UI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /data1/appl/twiki/bin . /srv/www/perl-lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /srv/www) at /data1/appl/twiki/bin/attach line 30.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data1/appl/twiki/bin/attach line 30.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 5) line 1.\n [Wed Jul 08 15:51:53 2009] [error] Can't load Perl file: /data1/appl/twiki/tools/mod_perl_startup.pl for server destgd0d01302:0, exiting...

QUESTION: How can I add this path (/data1/appl/twiki/lib/TWiki) to the standard @INC path?

Discussion and Answer

/data1/appl/twiki/lib needs to be in your @INC path. Do that in twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg.

Also, disable the mod_perl startup in your Apache twiki config file. You only need mod_perl in a high traffic site.
