I am getting Topic Save error whenever I try to save the file using TWIki. Error: %HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW% TWiki . Main . WebHome (oops) Attention

Topic save error During save of file Main an error was found by the version control system. Please notify your TWiki administrator. /usr/local/bin/ci -q -l -m'none' -t-none -w'guest' /export/home/twiki/data/Main/WebHome.txt 2>&1 1>/dev/null ci: /export/home/twiki/data/Main/RCS/WebHome.txt,v: Permission denied

Go back in your browser and save your changes locally.

I have changed the user/group to nobody all all files under twiki/data (permission 666) and cgi-bin (permisiion 755).

Tested rcs. RCS works correctly. I create a file under twiki/data/Main and checked it out/in using co and ci. It worked fine but as soon as the GUI is used everything fails.

When trying to attach a file, Software Error is returned: Software error: Can't call method "findOne" without a package or object reference at /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/attach line 112. For help, please send mail to the webmaster

Thanks in advance for the help!

http://server:port#/cgi-bin/oops give this error:

TWiki Installation Error Template file oops.tmpl not found or template directory /export/home/trapti/twiki/templates not found. Check the $templateDir variable in TWiki.cfg.

The folder templates exists with proper permission but there is no file in it named "oops.tmpl"

Answer

• It looks like you have a mismatch of TWiki versions since %HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW% is not expanded. Make sure that the template files and cgi scripts are of the same TWiki version.
• What does testenv report for the user? The data files need to be writable by that user. Get the latest testenv script from CVS:bin/testenv.
• Make sure that the settings in TWiki.cfg are correct.

Thanks for the response. I reinstalled TWIKI and it works somewhat but not completely. How do I check whether the templetes and cgi-scripts are of the same version?

By re-installing TWiki the variable WEBHOME gets expanded and I can edit, attach, more on these links but the variable HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW, WIKIWEBLIST, WEBTOPICLIST are not expanded at all.

Compare your WebPreferences and TWikiPreferences with the ones here on TWiki.org - if some variables look different, edit the pages locally to see if there are some variables not set. See VariablesNotEvaluating for a similar problem, and check your TWiki.cfg against CVSget:lib/TWiki.cfg (particularly the bits that set the names of webs).

Thanks. I checked the TWiki.cfg file and seems OK. The TWikipreference and WebPrefernce also seems to be OK. When I try this: http://server:8888/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiPrefernce, I don't see the contents as I can see when I try: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikipreference No matter what URL I provide ..../Webprefernce or any name xyz in front of the above URL http://.../.../view/.. the output looks the same only the file names changes to what I have at the end of the URL.

Does chaning the perl version will really help. I am using Solaris 8 and perl 5.00503.

I was able to correct the mistakes myself. I just removed the data/TWiki and data/Main files. Copied again and everything seems to work fine. I did not upgrade to perl 5.6.
