ikiwiki/doc/bugs/Problems_using_cygwin.mdwn

I'd like to run ikiwiki under cygwin.  I'm new to ikiwiki and have tried to follow the setup tutorial as best I could.  I got all the way up to step 7, but I can't get the CGI to run successfully (step 8).

A different problem has reared its ugly head.  When I click on "RecentChanges", the CGI complains about an undefined subroutine:

<pre>
==> apache2/error_log <==
[Thu Oct 12 16:20:52 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.125] Undefined subroutine &IkiWiki::XMLin called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/IkiWiki/Rcs/svn.pm line 143., referer: http://imrisws36/wiki/index.html?updated
[Thu Oct 12 16:20:52 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.125] Premature end of script headers: ikiwiki.cgi, referer: http://imrisws36/wiki/index.html?updated
</pre>

Indeed there is no such routine IkiWiki::XMLin().  I don't understand how this can possibly work -- as it manifestly does on linux.

> XMLin is supposed to be exported by XML::Simple. My guess is that, due to a missing error check, XML::Simple is failing to load, and it's not aborting then. You probably need to install that module; in the meantime, I've fixed the missing error check in svn. --[[Joey]]

* Work around a strange bug in CGI::FormBuilder 3.0401 that makes FORM-SUBMIT unusable on customised formbuilder templates. For now, hardcode the submit buttons in editpage.tmpl instead of using the template variable, which is ok, since the buttons are static. 2006-11-10 08:46:41 +01:00			`> Moved the formbuilder bug to [[formbuilder_3.0401_broken]] --[[Joey]]`

* The hack used to make the pagetemplate hook have access to the editpage template won't work with CGI::FormBuilder 3.0401, so disable it for now. * CGI::FormBuilder 3.0401 seems to work ok now with ikiwiki, although there might still be bugs lurking.. 2006-12-02 01:19:55 +01:00
