Description

We had a wiki on our Drupal 5 site built using wikitools, freelinking, and pearwiki_filter, but when I upgraded the last of these to 5.x-1.1, it suddenly "lost" the path of PEAR packages (which hadn't moved). That is, the "Path of PEAR packages" field is blank when I load the filter configuration page, and moreover it will not save any value I insert there, giving instead the error

PEAR Text/Wiki installation not found. Looked in directory .
There should be a Text directory with a file Wiki.php in it.
The correct (again, unchanged) path (/home/myaccount/public_html/sites/all/modules/pearwiki_filter/) is located in the variables MySQL table as expected, but does not seem to be read either with this value or any other I manually enter into the db.

At first, this cause all wiki pages to display nothing but "<<<<http://drupal.org/node/130351#comment-531304 , to no avail.

Our setup is Drupal 5.6 on Linux, MySQL 4.1.21, PHP 5.2.1.

Hmm, no way to edit issue posts. The three latter paragraphs should have read

At first, this cause all wiki pages to display nothing but "<<<<< Wiki.php"; after purging the cache, the pages are completely blank. The issue disappears on reverting to 5.x-1.0, but we have forthcoming content that relies heavily on interwiki links which are only supported as of pwf 5.x-1.1.

I've tried purging the cache and reinstalling the modules; the database schema is up to date; and Wiki.php is definitely in /home/myaccount/public_html/sites/all/modules/pearwiki_filter/Text . For gits and shiggles I even tried modifying the .module file as per http://drupal.org/node/130351#comment-531304 , to no avail.

Never did get to the bottom of it, but then no one else seems to have reported it, and the site in question has been upgraded to D6.
