Question

I installed Debian VM (on VM Server) and it is working fine. I wanted to add a TagMePlugin. It says to put in twiki installation directory: Where is that directory? I'm using windows to copy over via IE browser, but it looks like it is a linked directory file:\\root and file:\\twiki. Do I put the files right at \\twiki? or a subdirectory? Where is this directory if I go in as root via the VM console? then I just run the installer script? I tried running the installer script from \home\user as rootuser but got an error. Thanks

I have abandoned the Samba file share, so my memories are shallow... but the share twiki should point to what is commonly referred to as "TWiki installation directory", as does file:\\root\home\httpd\twiki. From the VM console, it is /home/httpd/twiki. You should be able to simply unzip from there and then run the installer. After that, you might consider to chown the files installed in /home/httpd/twiki/data and /home/httpd/twiki/pub to the web server's user id so that they can be modified using the web interface.

I ran the installer.pl using perl <installername.pl> and it wants to run from the root directory. So I did that and now it is sitting at "Fetching the archive for TWiki::Plugins::TagMePlugin Then error 500 Can't connect to twiki.org:80. unable to locate suitable archive for install. This is not working well.
