I ran "ikiwiki --setup" using my existing ikiwiki.setup configuration. +I had many errors like: + + /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/wikilink/index.html independently created, not overwriting with version from wikilink + BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 129. + +and: + + failed renaming /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/smileys.ikiwiki-new to /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/smileys: Is a directory + BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 129. + +Probably about six errors like this. I worked around this by removing the files and directories it complained about. +Finally it finished. + +> As of version 2.0, ikiwiki enables usedirs by default.

I fixed that part. --JeremyReed + +My next problem was that ikiwiki start letting me edit without any password authentication.

It uses my +rcs_recentchanges in my rcs perl module. + +The do=prefs does nothing though -- just a blank webpage. + +> You need to figure out why ikiwiki is crashing.

I also checked differences between 1.40 Rcs plugins and didn't notice anything significant. + +--JeremyReed + +Another Followup: I created a new ikiwiki configuration and did the --setup to +create an entirely different website. I have same problem there. No prompt for password +and empty webpage when using the cgi. +I never upgraded any perl modules so maybe a new perl module is required but I don't see any errors so I don't know. + +The only errors I see when building and installing ikiwiki are: + + Can't exec "otl2html": No such file or directory at IkiWiki/Plugin/otl.pm line 66. + + gettext 0.14 too old, not updating the pot file + +I don't use GNU gettext on here. + +I may need to revert back to my old ikiwiki install which has been used to thousands of times (with around +1000 rcs commits via ikiwiki). + +--JeremyReed + +I downgraded to version 1.40 (that was what I had before I wrote wrong above). +Now ikiwiki is working for me again (but using 1.40). I shouldn't have tested on production system :) + +--JeremyReed + +I am back. On a different system, I installed ikiwiki 2.6.1. Same problem -- blank CGI webpage. + +So I manually ran with: + + REQUEST_METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING='do=create&page=jcr' kiwiki.cgi + +And clearly saw the error: + + [IkiWiki::main] Fatal: Bad template engine CGI::FormBuilder::Template::div: Can't locate CGI/FormBuilder/Template/div.pm + +So I found my version was too old and 3.05 is the first to provide "Div" support. I upgraded my p5-CGI-FormBuilder to 3.0501. +And ikiwiki CGI started working for me. + +The Ikiwiki docs about this requirement got removed in Revision 4367. There should be a page that lists the requirements. +(I guess I could have used the debian/control file.) + +> There is a page, [[install]] documents that 3.05 is needed. + +>> Sorry, I missed that.
