Question

Having issues running /twiki/bin/configure for first time install. My httpd error log show the following:

[error] [client 10.0.1.22] mod_mime_magic: can't read `/var/www/html/twiki/bin/view'

[error] slurp_filename('/var/www/html/twiki/bin/view') / opening: (13) Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/ModPerl/RegistryCooker.pm line 540

[crit] [client 10.0.1.22] configuration error: couldn't check access. No groups file?: /twiki/bin/configure

Not sure how to resolve this issue.

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.

I am no expert but a 500 error is most likely the result of incorrect file permissions. TWiki can be a long and complicated install. It is best to read the documents very carefully.

Generally, every file outside of the bin can be chmod to 644. Every file in the bin, (excluding the cfg files that should be 644) can be chmod to 755.
