message in error report of 'twiki/bin/configure':

Error: 'TWiki.pm' could not be loaded. The error was:

Cannot read TWiki.cfg: syntax error at /data/www/htdocs/twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg line 27, near "$TWiki::$cfg" BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/www/htdocs/twiki/lib/TWiki.pm line 473. Compilation failed in require at (eval 50) line 3.

Error: Check path to twiki/lib and check that LocalSite.cfg is present and readable

In the Apache Log you get:

configure: \t(Missing operator before $cfg?), referer: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

The reason is that $TWiki::$cfg should be $TWiki::cfg!

Workaround cp LocalSite.cfg.txt LocalSite.cfg sed -i 's#$TWiki::$cfg#$TWiki::cfg#g' LocalSite.cfg
