SID-00684: Log In, Edit and Register redirect to a blank screen

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	the default on the VM
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Debian VM	Last update:	15 years ago

Was upgrading a copy of the VM from 2007 to the latest version and was able to get everything working EXCEPT Log In, Edit and Register.

I have been trying to find any references on these pages, and on the Internet in general to no avail.

I suspect this is something I missed in configuration, but I've gone over it for about 40 hours and couldn't come up with anything.

Discussion and Answer

I have the same issue with a fresh install of Twiki 4.3.2 on Solaris 10. Nothing in the warn.txt except the "TWiki::Plugins::TWikiNetSkinPlugin::initPlugin" messages.

Any clue?

what do you see in your Webserver(Apache) log (access and error)? must be some Perl module missing which is required in installations of TWiki

-- SopanShewale - 2010-01-13

no errors in Apache error_log, in access_log I see Apache returning 200 for each login/edit/register

May be - this is issue with your templates,

Please append ?skin=print or ?skin=pattern to your urls and see the output...

If you get success then you need to set SKIN variable to proper value or fix skin templates.

Thanks for your help.

I have tried with ?skin=print and ?skin=pattern, login/edit/register are still blank. It works fine with "normal" pages though.

please check the permission of bin/login, bin/edit, bin/register If this does not work, let us get connected on TWiki's irc. I work from India - so available in IST (GMT+5:30), in the evenings, timezone.

I am having the exact same problem when upgrading to TWiki 4.3.2 from 4.2.0. OS is 32-bit RHEL5 on a VM, httpd2.2.3, perl5.8.8. None of the suggestions above made any difference.

I was using the upgrade.tgz when I had this problem. When I reinstalled using the normal installation .tgz file, this problem went away, so I have no issues now.
