SID-00441: New Groups not Showing in TWikiGroups - WInXP

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.1	Perl version:	5.10
Category:	CategoryAccessControl	Server OS:	Win XP	Last update:	16 years ago

Hello everybody,

I am having the same problem as described in NewGroupsNotAppearingInGROUPS . With the difference, that I am running Twiki 4.3.1 on a WinXP Machine, using the Apache2 installation provided by Xampp.

I have added New User Groups using the Form at TWikiGroups. These Groups do show up in the topic list, but not in TWikiGroups. I did not find the code snippets that were described in the above mentioned post, when searching for them in my bin/configure (configure.pl) file.

How can I fix this problem on my machine?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much

Christoph

Discussion and Answer

The list of groups in the TWikiGroups page is handled by the %GROUPS% variable. Not sure why it would not work in your case. Is search working properly? Check your {RCS}{EgrepCmd} and {RCS}{EgrepCmd} configure settings.

As a workaround you could replace the %GROUPS% variable with a search, such as:

%SEARCH{"Set GROUP" topic="*Group" casesensitive="on" nosummary="on" nosearch="on" noheader="on" nototal="on" format="   * $topic$n   * <font size=\"-1\">Members: $pattern(.* \* Set GROUP =([^\n]*).*)</font>"}%

Hello Peter, thanks for your help (again) !

If I search for "Group" in the regular search field, all the Groups I have created, and the existing ones, are found properly. However, replacing "%Group%" by the seach code you provided does not turn out any results. (nor any other information. simply blank space...)

Where can I check the mentioned {RCS}{EgrepCmd}? The store settings in my configure page only list - {StoreImpl} - where I selected RCS Lite - {RCS}{dirPermission} - where I left "0755" unchanged (but tried "777" in the meantime) - {RCS}{filePermission} - where I left "0644" unchanged (but tried "777" in the meantime) - {EnableHierarchicalWebs} - where I checked the box "yes"

I have the bad feeling this is a pretty ignorant question, but I have spent all day trying to figure this out.

Thank you so much.

PS.: Please forgive me if I will not answer again right away. I just might sleep. Best wishes from Germany...!

Update: I now installed RCS and cygwin, and changed all the paths to rcs, ci, co, rlog, grep in the LocalSite.cfg (where I finally found the egrepCMD variable. Also, I changed the configure settings for the store settings back for RCSWrap.

However, the problem persists. I only see the TWikiBaseGroup and TWikiAdminGroup listed in TWikiGroups.

Does anyone have other ideas?

Thank you Christoph

I had the same issue and fixed it as follows. Make a directory on your server such as c:/GNUforTWiki/ Then put the files egrep.exe and fgrep.exe in the directory ( I attached these two files to this page ) Then point to these files in your /lib/LocalSite.cfg file per the following:

$TWiki::cfg{RCS}{SearchAlgorithm} = 'TWiki::Store::SearchAlgorithms::Forking';

$TWiki::cfg{RCS}{QueryAlgorithm} = 'TWiki::Store::QueryAlgorithms::BruteForce';

$TWiki::cfg{RCS}{EgrepCmd} = 'c:/GNUforTwiki/egrep %CS{|-i}% %DET{|-l}% -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F%';

$TWiki::cfg{RCS}{FgrepCmd} = 'c:/GNUforTwiki/fgrep %CS{|-i}% %DET{|-l}% -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F%';

Also, you may want to set the RCS line to "Forking" as shown above.

This solved it for me, and probably fixes other things too.
