SID-01321: New Install - Unable to Register Users

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.0	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryRegistration	Server OS:		Last update:	9 years ago

Just installed TWiki on a hosting package with 1&1. Everything went smoothly, but I am not able to register on the site. When I attempt to register a user I receive the following error:

There has been a problem adding your user id to the Password system. Please contact <e-mail address removed>. You have not been registered.

I searched on-line for hours, but could not find anything to resolve this. Here is the contents of the warning file in the /data dir:

| 2011-11-05 - 02:04 | Registration failed: /usr/bin/rcs -i -t-none -ko %FILENAME|F% of .../Main/TWikiUsers.txt failed: at /kunden/homepages/0/d247030073/htdocs/CY/Wiki/lib/TWiki/Store/RcsWrap.pm line 104.

There is nothing obviously wrong to me on line 104 of /lib/TWiki/Store/RcsWrap.pm.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and please let me know if you need any additional info.

Discussion and Answer

I forgot to mention that, for some reason, the /data/Main/TWikiUsers.txt and corresponding ,v files do not exist. I just did another clean install on another system and it's the same way. Not sure if this is a bug or if the files are supposed to be automatically created and are not or what.

I switched to another application.

Even I had similar issue with bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration and I see the below error in the logs: Registration failed: /usr/bin/ci -m%COMMENT|U% -t-none -w%USERNAME|S% -u %FILENAME|F% of .../Main/TWikiUsers.txt failed: 1 at /var/www/twiki/lib/TWiki/Store/RcsWrap.pm line 433.

I'm able to resolve this by changing the {StoreImpl} from RcsWrap to RcsLite in Twiki configuration settings. Now, I'm able to register users without any issues.
