SID-01110: Twiki site down after installing/deinstalling PlugIns

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:	5.10.0
Category:	CategoryPlugins	Server OS:	openSUSE 11.2 (i586) VERSION = 11.2	Last update:	14 years ago

Hi,

I wanted to install CalendarPlugin2 and something obviously went wrong.

I tried to remove every part of CalendarPlugin2 and now reinstalled CalendarPlugin through configure (meanwhile I had to remove the "T" in configure).

Now I can acces the configure page through browser, but not anymore the twiki site. I get on the browser:

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

RCS: path -h %FILENAME|F% of ...path,v failed:

Apache gives: [Fri Feb 18 13:45:43 2011] [error] [client ...] RCS: /usr/bin/rlog -h %FILENAME|F% of .../TWiki/BlogAddOn.txt,v failed: at /home/.../Portal/twiki/lib/TWiki/Store/RcsWrap.pm line 276., referer: http://.../twiki/bin/configure

I tried to deinstall BlogAddOn. When I visit more extension through configure it shows me that I didn't install the Addon. But in the configure panel I get the "category" BlogAddOn and get the option to enable "Show author pictures from PersonalInfoAddOn".

How can I deinstall BlogAddOn through shell? Or what other ways can I use to fix the problem?

Btw. Having installed CalendarPlulgin, what do I have to do for using CalendarPlugin2? Do I have to deinstall CalendarPlugin first? CalendarPlugin2 seems to overwrite some parts?

Any help would be appreciated.

Discussion and Answer

Do you have a backup of twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg? If so, restore it. If not, remove it and run configure to start from configuration scratch.

Thanks for the fast response. I removed and configured again.

Now, when I enable CalendarPlugin I get an error on the browser:

" TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

cannot open debug "

The apache-log tells me: " cannot open debug at /home/.../Portal/twiki/lib/HTML/CalendarMonthSimple.pm line 68., referer: http://.../twiki/bin/view/TWiki/SiteMap "

I am not sure what to do next. I would like to have the functions of the CalendarPlugin2 but at the moment I would be happy if at least the "normal" CalendarPlugin would work

The debug.txt file is created in twiki/data by default. Make sure this directory is owned by, and can be written by the webserver user.

Now I got the site to work again. Maybe this is useful to somebody:

Access rights where ok, debug-file was not created. In CalendarMonthSimple.pm (located in twiki/lib/HTML) I changed line 68 from

open (DEBUG, ">/ARRAY/www/twiki-dev/lib/HTML/debug2.txt")

to

open (DEBUG, ">/"my-path-to-twiki"/twiki/lib/HTML/debug.txt")

and created the file debug.txt in the directory /twiki/lib/HTML/debug with correct owner and access rights.

Now, the normal calendar works.

I still don't now how I can get the Calendar2 to work. Therefore I haven't changed the status of this post to "answered". Is it better to open another support question?
