SID-02126: Web Notification Keep Sending for No Changes

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	Perl 6.4
Category:	NotificationPlugin	Server OS:	Windows 2008	Last update:	10 years ago

I have Web Notification working for almost a year. Now when there is a topic change, it keeps sending an email once a day as configured in the Schedule Task even though the notified topic has no further changes. I wonder if the permission for the Scheduled Task's user has been changed. How does Web Notification know that an alert has been sent on a topic change? Thanks.

Discussion and Answer

Check the ownership of the twiki/*/.changes and twiki/working/work_areas/MailerContrib/* files. They need to be owned & writable by the webserver user. Same with the directories they are in.

Actually, what I stated before is specific to the pre-installed MailerContrib. If you use the non-standard NotificationPlugin I'd check the location where this plugin stores local data (I am not familiar with this plugin)
