SID-00702: Error in install script for TopicClassificationAddOn

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	5
Category:	TopicClassificationAddOn	Server OS:	CENTOS 5.2	Last update:	15 years ago

I have a CENTOS-based server with the standard apache and kernel for the distribution. The installer script for this module returns:

---

Error: Installer returned errors: Subroutine install redefined at /var/www/html/twiki/TopicClassificationAddOn_installer line 890. You may be able to resolve these errors and complete the installation from the command line, so I will leave the installed files where they are.

---

The problem is well-known but since the installer script is over 35K (!) and there are no clear instructions for manual installation (a how-to would be nice). Furthermore, I am not a programmer myself to install it by hand and then search inside the script for configuration details (that could also be the cause for the error). Help, anyone!

Discussion and Answer

Manual install is straight forward: Unzip content on server to temporary location, fix file ownership to the webserver user (apache.apache on CentOS), and move data directory content to your twiki/data installation while preserving directory structure.

I unzipped the files, fixed the file ownership, copied the /data into the twiki/data and /lib into /twiki/lib, and omitted copying the installer script. Still, it is not listed as installed in the Twiki Configuration

Add-ons are not listed as installed in configure.
