Hi, I have installed twiki in one of the subdomain of my site,So the url is: http//twiki.mysite.com/ but this shows only the configuration page and i can view the main page from this link:http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view. So how can i convert the 2nd link to http://twiki.mysite.com/

There are several ways to show the TWiki home as your site home.

1. Browser redirect. Create a simple HTML page as your site home that contains this in the header:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view/Main/WebHome">

2. Apache rewrite rule. Tell Apache to deliver one URL for another. Not tested example httpd.conf entry:

<Directory />
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^index\.html$  http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view/Main/WebHome [L]
</Directory>

3. Generate a static HTML file from your TWiki home. This can be done in regular intervals with a crontab entry. Example:

0,15,30,45 * * * * cd /path/to/htdocs; /usr/bin/wget -O index.html http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view/Main/WebHome > .log.txt 2>&1

#2 did not work for me on FC8 using Apache 2.2. Well, it did, but it looks like there wasn't any access to the CSS.
