SID-00672: BlogFactory page returns an error message.

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	perl 5.8.8
Category:	CategoryPlugins	Server OS:	Solaris	Last update:	15 years ago

I installed the blog plugin, and when I go to the blog factory page to create a page it gives me the following error message:

Error I get when I try to make a blog: ERROR: (404) Invalid REST invocation (BlogPlugin on createblog)

I am not sure how to correct this error based on the information in this error message. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide.

Discussion and Answer

Anyone have any idea why blog plugin doesnt work? I was able to fix the Error (404), but now it just gives a different error. It says: ERROR: (401): AccessControlException: Access to rest Main.Webhome for BaseUserMapping_666 is denied. Authenification required.

That problem was due to me not being logged in, however I get a new problem now: "Internal server error: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

I tracked down the error in the apache log to this line of code in Factory.pm in the blog plugin: # check permission, user authorized to create webs? unless($session->{user}->isAdmin()) {
