Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.4	Perl version:	5.12.4
Category:		Server OS:	RedHat Linux	Last update:	13 years ago

Linux platform Perl 5.12.x - user installation in user dir (not as root) Twiki 4.2.4 - directly installed in user home directory. did not create it under twiki folder.

After all installation, when I point my browser to http://xyz/bin/configure or http://xyz/bin/view it gives error 500.

However when I run these through command line it works (perl bin/configure and perl bin/view). But it is needed by browser When I see Apache srvr error logs,

However when I point my browser to http://<myip>:<port it gives my Twiki index page with proper 6 links. All others like installation guide, release notes, etc excpt Twiki configure works. Please help

Thanks Sunil

Discussion and Answer

Check the file ownership and permission of strict.pm. On my CentOS it is at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/strict.pm. It looks like your webserver user cannot read that file. Check also if SELinux plays a role, disable to test.
