Question

In a new installation of the current TWiki release, I'm getting an view error similar to the errors mentioned in these questions:

• Perl5ErrorsTemplateProblem
• TemplateOopsError
• TemplatesNotFoundInstallationError

Template "oopsattention" not found.  Check the configuration setting for {TemplateDir}.

As instructed in the other posts, I've ensured that LocalLib.cfg contains the absolute path to the lib directory as the value for $twikiLibPath, and that ownership of the templates directory is set to the web server user (apache).

And, of course, I've checked the value for {TemplateDir}, which is set to the full, absolute path of the twiki/templates directory.

I am not sure what else to try, and I'd appreciate any suggestions.

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.

last time I saw this error, my {TemplatePath} was totally wrong - having been corrupted somewhere along the way. I'd suggest moving yout LocalSite.cfg, and creating a new one. If the problem persists, even though your LocalSite is the defaults plus the path settings, then mmm

Thank you for your suggestion, and for moving my focus from LocalLib.cfg to LocalSite.cfg. I removed bin/LocalSite.cfg and ran configure again. It "guessed" all the correct path values, which were exactly the same as they were before. The bin/LocalSite.cfg file was not been regenerated on the file system; it was created instead in lib/, which seems to be the proper place for it. So if nothing else, I've learned the right location for this file. Thanks!

Note that the error says to check {TemplateDir} but it is {TemplatePath} that is most likely corrupted.

(That's what happened to me and it took a while to figure out what to do).

I just got bitten by this too. If lib/TWiki/UI/Oops.pm would have mentioned {TemplatePath} as well I would have found and fixed the problem much quicker.
