Question

I'm a bit iggerant about all this stuff, so apologies in advance.

I am trying to install and run TWiki on my local Win2000 workstation, following the instructions in the WindowsInstallCookbook. I am stumped on what to use for the domain name... this is a corporate network which already has an intranet (which I can't use because a) it uses IIS, b) this is just an R&D investigation).

I can open C:\twiki\TWikiDocumentation.html in my browser, so I'm guessing I should use this convention. But I'm not clear where my wiki pages will go and what I should set as the domain name.

Help will be appreciated!

You can use either localhost or the IP address of your workstation instead of a real domain name.

127.0.0.1 (which in fact is localhost) works also fine.

If you are talking about the domain name mentioned in the comamnd http://yourdomain.com/twiki/bin/testenv, replace yourdomain.com/twiki with your machine name. For example, if you macine name is SarahM, use http://SarahM/bin/testenv

In Twiki.cfg, the $wikiHomeUrl should be $wikiHomeUrl = "http://yourmachinename/bin/view"; The drive letters should not appear in the http://... command.

Follow the instructions EXACLTY, starting from the heading "Windows Install Cookbook". It will work. I had installed TWiki on my machine, which is a part of the corporate domain. The corporate domain does not matter. (You may need to tweak your installation a bit if you want the domain users to get authenticated etc. but that is much later)
