[UPDATE] I am going to try the first answer and get back to this post with the results.

I can't log into the configure portion of the Twiki installation my group is using. I am a full admin, and I was able to login once using my predecessor's credentials, but now that also does not work.

Error I get when I try to use the search at the search page http://twiki.*************.com/bin/view/TWiki/PluceneSearch:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@twiki.*************.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

WebServerX Server at twiki.***********.com Port 80"

I have downloaded all the necessary files, installed the necessary Perl modules, and moved the necessary files to the appropriate directories on the shared server.

The plugin in question is Plucene Search. The standard search in Twiki is absolutely terrible. I can't even get the jump to work (I type in the name of a page I know to exist, like FelixGarcia, but it goes nowhere, says it doesn't exist). I wanted to install this Plucene Search Plugin because I wanted better search of pages and attachments, including the contents of attachments.

As I said before, I do not know what else to do besides install the Perl modules and unzip the contents of the zip folder provided here: SearchEnginePluceneAddOn into the appropriately named ones on the server.

Call me a n00b, 'cause I am, but I have no clue what to do, even after reading everything on the Plucene and Plugin pages. Often there are "commands" that can be run, but I do not know how to run them on this server (i.e. how do I run a command line tool on this shared server). I apologize since I do not have many of the AdminSkillsAssumptions, but I need help with this inherited problem nonetheless. Thank you.

Discussion and Answer

On Internal Server Error, do a shell login and check Apache's error_log file.

Instead of SearchEnginePluceneAddOn you might want to install SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn, which is actively maintained.

You will need to install additional modules to get either of the search engines running. See HowToInstallCpanModules.

If you forgot the configure password you can do a shell login and wipe out the {Password} value in twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg.
