SID-02143: ExecutePlugin EXECUTE ERROR: Script named 'uppercase' not found

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	v5.18.1 built for x86_64-linux
Category:	ExecutePlugin	Server OS:	Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon) 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86	Last update:	10 years ago

I have enabled the plugin and configured the "uppercase" and "echo" examples properly, yet: I always get Script named "x" (x=echo or uppercase) not found. Is there anything lese I have to configure? Looked already into PluginsOrder, AllowInlineScript, SafeEnvPath

Cheers Michael

Discussion and Answer

Not sure. Did you specify the full path to the script, such as command => '/bin/echo foo bar', ? Is selinux enabled and interfering? The uppercase example is a type 'perl'.

All configuration was copied from the plugin's home page, i.e. "uppercase" was set as "perl". SELINUX is enabled, but I don't think it is interfering as all other majually installed plugins are running fine: LdapContrib, FormQueryPlugin, FormPlugin, GluePlugin, JqPlotPlugin, LdapNgPlugin, NewUserPlugin, OrphansPlugin, QuickCalendarPlugin, RevisionLinkPlugin, SubscribePlugin, TreeBrowserPlugin, WebPermissionsPlugin, MacrosPlugin, LdapContribAdminPlugin, RedirectPlugin, SyntaxHighlightingPlugin, SourceHighlightPlugin, GlobalReplacePlugin, JQueryPlugin, AutoSectionsPlugin, FilterPlugin, ExecutePlugin

Try to disable all non-standard plugins to see if one of the plugins interferes.

Do you run TWiki under mod_perl or Fast CGI? If so, did you restart the webserver?

-- Peter Thoeny - 2016-01-05

We're running neither mod_perl nor FCGI ... just plain CGI

I read the code, the "Script named 'uppercase' not found" error means that $TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{ExecutePlugin}{Scripts} is not properly formatted in LocalSite.cfg. Please double-check. Default should be:

$TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{ExecutePlugin}{Scripts} = [
 {
  name => 'echo',
  type => 'script',
  command => '/bin/echo "%text%"',
  filter => '[^a-zA-Z0-9_\\- ]',
 },
 {
  name => 'uppercase',
  type => 'perl',
  command => 'return uc("%text%");',
  filter => '[^a-zA-Z0-9_\\-\\+ \\.\\,\\:\\!\\?\\(\\)/]',
 },
];

Great tip, thanks a lot ... now the examples are working fine and also my own scripts inside $TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{ExecutePlugin}{Scripts} = [...]; are working.

-- Michael Naumann - 2016-01-07

BTW: I got confused by the fact that once you have to use $TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{ExecutePlugin}{Commands} and once $TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{ExecutePlugin}{Scripts}, see http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/ExecutePlugin#Execute_Perl_Code

Oops, my bad, this is a documentation bug. I fixed the docs and released the new package. Thanks for pointing out.
