SID-00412: Post-configure Installation Error - Unicode:String Module

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.1	Perl version:	5
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Linux	Last update:	17 years ago

I received the following error after I finished the configure page and tried to visit the homepage: TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

"utf16be" is not exported by the Unicode::String module Can't continue after import errors

Does anyone have any knowledge on this issue? It would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Dan

Discussion and Answer

I found the answer: Open /var/www/twiki/lib/TWiki/Render.pm file:(you must change the mode of this file to edit - it is read-only by default)

1. Remove this line:

use Unicode::String qw(utf8 latin1 utf16be);

2. Replace the following two lines:

my $utf8AnchorName = Unicode::String->new($anchorName); $anchorName = $utf8AnchorName->substr(0, 32);

with this line:

$anchorName =~ s/^(.{32})(.*)$/$1/; # limit to 32 char
