Question
I'm new to TWiki and have tried twice to perform a clean install on my iBook. On both occasions when I get to step 4, the WebHome page is missing the expected topics so I can't continue with the intall. Instead I see what appear to the names of variables, e.g. HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW, WEBTOPICLIST, etc., surrounded by percent signs. Any suggestions?- TWiki version: TWiki20011201.zip
- Web server: Apache
- Server OS: Mac OS X
- Web browser: IE 5.1 OS X
- Client OS: same

Hi, have a look at IncompleteInstall and InstallationIssues, which are quite similar. If the ideas in there don't help, have a look at some of these topics, which have similar symptoms: Searched: HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEWResults from Support web retrieved at 07:54 (GMT)

Feel free to upload your TWiki.cfg here, and the output of your testenv script. Also, see SupportGuidelines and TWikiDebugging for some other ideas.

Followup
Thanks for the pointers. I got further in the install. testenv was OK and I was already running perl 5.6. The trick was to do yet another clean install, but this time as a user named "twiki." So now WebHome seems to be OK. -- Fernando Pineda - 30 Aug 2002 Better to start a new support question for a different question.
