Question

I am trying to run Twiki v4.04 on top of IndigoPerl on Windows XP SP2. After filling the registration form, I do not get the configure page. Instead the browser tries to open http://localhost/twiki/bin/register/Main/WebHome, which fails with a "Cannot find server or DNS error" error message. Any clue what's wrong with my installation that will allow me to get the configure page to load? One other thing I notice is that .htpasswd doesn't get any entries when I hit the submit button on the registration page.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You need to run configure before you try to register anything.

Did you manually copy bin/LocalLib.cfg.txt to LocalLib.cfg and did you edit this new bin/LocalLib.cfg so that the $twikiLibPath is set to the absolute path to the lib directory of twiki?

When you have done that next step is to look up the URL of the configure script in your browser, ignore the errors, hit next, give configure a password and then return to configure and finish up the configuration.
