TWiki on GoDaddy Shared Hosting

Economy does NOT have CGI support. You must have at least Deluxe hosting.

{localDir} = eg. "c:\temp\TWiki-4.1.2\bin"

{remoteDir} = eg. "/twiki"

• Unzip "TWiki-4.1.2.zip" to {localDir}
• Rename "{localDir}/bin/*." to "{localDir}/bin/*.pl"
• Copy "{localDir}/bin/LocalLib.cfg.txt" to "{localDir}/bin/LocalLib.cfg"
• Edit "{localDir}/bin/LocalLib.cfg"
  • Set $twikiLibPath = "/home/content/x/y/z/xyzExample/html{/remoteDir}/lib"
• FTP Upload "{localDir}/*.*" to "{remoteDir}/*.*"
• CHMOD 777 /bin /data /pub -R
• http://xyzExample.com{remoteDir}/bin/configure
  • Set "{ScriptSuffix}" to ".pl"
  • Set "{TempfileDir}" to "/tmp"
  • Click "Next" button
  • Set a {password}
  • Click "Change Password and Save" button
• go back to http://xyzExample.com{remoteDir}/bin/configure
  • Expand "Security Setup"
    • Set "{LoginManager}" to "TWiki::Client::TemplateLogin"
  • Expand "Mail and Proxies"
    • Set "{WebMasterEmail}" to "admin@xyzExample.com"
    • Set "{MailProgram}" to "/usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi -oeq"
  • Click "Next" button
  • Type your {password} and click "Save"

I tried this and when I'd go beyond the main wiki pages (/view/Twiki/), I kept getting a godaddy 404. Any ideas?

What kind of htaccess files did you use?

The Twiki application can now be installed on GoDaddy automatically by going to My Applications and selecting Twiki from among the wiki options. Of course, CGI is still required so you still must have the Deluxe hosting to do this.
