Question

The log shows an error when I go to TWikiPreferences

File does not exist: /www_doc/twiki/pub/TWiki/TWikiPreferences

I do not see the error for other pages such as TWikiPreferences.

Indeed, the file does not exist and did not come with 4.0.3.

Anyone know why I get this error?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

This looks a bit strange, as it looks like TWiki searches for the topic in the pub dir (it should be looking in the data dir).

Possibly a wrong value for the data dir in configure or a redirection taking place?

Hello and thanks for the quick reply. This is the only page that I have seen the error for. The entries in the config file seem correct.

{PubUrlPath} /twiki/pub
{PubDir } /www_doc/twiki/pub
{TemplateDir} /www_doc/twiki/templates
{DataDir} /www_doc/twiki/data
{LocaleDir} /www_doc/twiki/locale

I do actually see the TWikiPreferences page but I still get this annoying error

I upgraded from Cairo to Dakar and copied the existing webs (data and pub directories) over to the new installation.

I had many errors complaning about /www_doc/twiki/pub/someweb/WebPreferences/favicon.ico files not existing.

I found that with Dakar when one creates a new web the pub/WebPreferences directory and file favicon.ico are created. But this was not the case with Cairo.

To solve this I created by hand this new directory in all existing webs.

The method with which I installed Dakar is the recommended way Manual TWiki Upgrade . Is there a post-installation procedure missing for the manual upgrade?
