Question

Total newb here, trying to get Twiki up and running for a work project. I'm trying to get it to run in my local Sites folder so I can build database locally then copy it to an external client later.

I followed the instructions at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiOnMacOSXTiger to the letter. I ran into problems with getting to http://localhost/wiki/bin/view. If I type that in I get the error message:

Not Found

The requested URL /twiki/bin/oops/Main/WebHome was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at jkg4.local Port 80

Not sure what to do, I'm no expert at this stuff but I really need this up and running. The files seem to be in place and I CAN run the configuration but I can't actually get to Twiki.

Okay I think i got it up and running, just needed to update a few directories. HOWEVER:

? Can't seem to add myself as a user. It wants to email me the access code but nothing is in my mailbox. Probably because it's a local install and it's not allowed to use email port (??)

? None of the twiki graphics show up, just pages of text with a lot of missing graphic icons

Okay, got the user part figured out: I looked in one of the folders and saw the access codes physically listed. But logins are disabled because I can't get sessions to work, I'm getting the CGI:Perl sessions module missing error. I can edit, but I can't make new webs or do Admin work. Page graphics still missing, maybe a CSS problem? Things look correct in the Configure page though.

You need to install the CGI::Session perl module from CPAN. Typically you do this as follows:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install CGI::Session
