ERROR: (405) Bad Request: REST denied

Since we've updated the plugin to the neweset version and we want to generate the cache initially with

`cd <foswiki-root>/bin; ./rest /DBCachePlugin/updateCache`

we get the following error:

ERROR: (405) Bad Request: REST denied.

Any hints how to solve this problem?

Regards

Known problem calling rest on the cmdline. Try this patch

While you are at it - and in case you've got $Foswiki::cfg{Register}{AllowLoginName} enabled - have this patch as well so that you are recognized as admin on the commandline.

Also: remove rest from $Foswiki::cfg{AuthScripts}.

This is fixed in Foswiki-1.2.0.

Thanks Michael, I had the same symptom and applied the patch. Then it worked. Cool smile
