Question

I tried very hard to get twiki running on my hosted web account. My provider is http://www.schlund.de.
But i get always the following error.

Software error:

Insecure dependency in open while running with -T switch at ../lib/TWiki/Store.pm line 1151.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (...), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Thanks and Regards Michael

Answer

The TWiki Perl scripts run with the "-T" option which enables the taint mode for security. The problem maybe that you run the script with another uid, gid then nobody. Perl detect this and dont execute the script correct. Try to change the permissions. You can also disable the "-T" option but this maybe an security hole. Hope this helps.

I removed the "-T" switch from every Perl-script and then Twiki is running fine on my hosted account
