Question

I am having intermittent problems with perl not being able to find my plugins. On some webs they work ok, but on others they do not.

• TWiki version:
• Web server:
• Server OS:
• Web browser:
• Client OS:

Answer

Very possibly caused by this: TWiki uses relative path to searching for required TWiki Perl libs. If TWiki or any plugin changes the default path it cannot find the Plugin. TWiki does that with a search for example.

To fix, apply one of these changes:

• Edit all TWiki scripts and specify an absolute path.
• Do a special loading of the Plugin libs in case it fails with the default lib search. Study the ChartPlugin source, it does that.
