Question

I am trying to install my first TWiki. When running the configuration script, I am asked at the beginning for the WikiName - I should give a username and a password, but I have no clue what they should be.

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.

It looks like your configure script (or the whole bin directory) is set to require a valid user. Check the Apache settings and remove that restriction for the configure script. Once your site is properly configured and you have registered in TWiki, you can enable access control for the configure script. Example entry in bin/.htaccess:

<FilesMatch "configure.*">
       require user RetoBeeler
</FilesMatch>

Thanks - I could solve the problem by changing the .htaccess file.
