SID-01506: First attempt at upgrade/install and got user rights error

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.1.2	Perl version:	5.10.1
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	HP-UX 11.31	Last update:	14 years ago

I have inherited a twiki that was just 'installed' and left alone for years. I am trying to upgrade from 4.1.2 to the lastest version. I figured I would just install the BackupRestorePlugin and be up and running in no time. ha.

I followed the instructions that were here: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/BackupRestorePlugin and have the plug-in in place.

But it doesn't work. I see under one of the headings:

All Admin Tools Category topics 
BackupRestoreConsole: %BACKUPRESTORE{ action "" file "" }% Related Topics: BackupRestorePlugin, .AdminToolsCategory ... 
BackupRestorePlugin: This is a solution to backup, restore and upgrade TWiki sites. It can be used via browser and on the ... 

http://sapmgr/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/BackupRestorePlugin

When I click on BackupRestoreConsole I get

TWiki Backup & Restore Console 
Overview 
%BACKUPRESTORE{ action="" file="" }% 

Related Topics: BackupRestorePlugin, AdminToolsCategory

And when I go to "Administrators can enable and disable plugins using configure." the wiki asks me for my wikiname and password. I am already logged in AND in the Admin group.

My first question is how do I get the wiki to correctly recognize me, or for that matter anyone in the AdminGroup, correctly?

I am running Wiki 4.1.1 on HP-UX using Server version: Apache/2.0.64 HP-UX_Apache-based_Web_Server Server built: Mar 14 2011 18:21:19

Discussion and Answer

I found one part of it. The old admin was in the httpd.conf file. Put mine and I am can now run configure.

Now how to fix this:

TWiki Backup & Restore Console Overview

WARNING: This is an older TWiki version, access to the backup and restore console is not resticted to the TWiki admin group. Everybody can create and download backups! Disable the BackupRestorePlugin after use!

Nevermind the Backup Console question. The user in the httpd.conf file was thr trick.
