Question

I have run throught the configuration steps and have run /twiki/bin/configure successfully. The only warnings in the script were about the CGI::session not being installed and about SHA1 encryption. The former I am willing to wait to install and the latter I don't care about.

When I try and run <server url>/twiki/bin/view I get the message that the browser is waiting on the server. When I run top I notice that the view script is consuming almost 100% of the cpu and the memory usage is growing rapidly. Every 2 seconds it grows approximately 150 meg.

When I try the following: /usr/bin/perl -wT ./view from the command line I get a warning:

[Fri Mar 31 09:57:22 2006] view: Deep recursion on subroutine "TWiki::new" at /var/www/wiked/lib/TWiki/Client.pm line 98.
[Fri Mar 31 09:57:22 2006] view: Deep recursion on subroutine "TWiki::Client::makeClient" at /var/www/wiked/lib/TWiki.pm line 1149.

I have checked and double checked all settings and permissions and can find nothing wrong. Permissions to all files and directories in the twiki distribution are se t to 775 and are owned by the user "apache" which is the username that httpd runs under.

So I am stumped. Can someone shed light on this?

Answer

does this happen when you try to view a standard topic (say, TWiki.WebHome), or is this on a custom topic which may have an include issue? i'd recommend you install CPAN:CGI::Session before trying to diagonse this further, especially since you're getting an error in lib/TWiki/Client.pm !

also, to help further, please upload your configure html page as testenv isn't used anymore.
