Question

I've verified that %pubUrlPath% is /home/httpd/twiki/bin. Why do the icons on the main home page show up as X's and not Twiki-pictures, when they seem to show up ok in the documentation pages?

Also, why can't I post as my WikiUser PerryRivera? Why am I always posting as a TwikiGuest?

Thanks in advance.

• TWiki version:1.11
• Web server:Apache
• Server OS:Redhat 7.1

Question

Thanks for your help so far.

I've tried changing pubUrlPath to /home/httpd/twiki/pub and /twiki/pub with no success. I am attaching the output from the testenv to this page.

Here's the strange part. If I go to the link http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/PoweredByTWikiLogo The logo then shows up fine. But the logos never show up on the main pages. Odd, huh?

As for authentication, I was able to get the authentication window. However, how do I log in? My WikiName PerryRivera and password does not seem to work.

By the way, the documentation implies that the default account for Apache is "nobody". At least for Redhat 7.1, the default appears to be "apache".

Answer

%PUBURLPATH% needs to point to the twiki/pub directory, the /home/httpd/twiki/bin in your case is the script directory which is incorrect. Run the testenv script and set wikicfg.pm settings accordingly. More in the TWikiInstallationGuide.

You have not enabled basic authentication in case you are always get TWikiGuest when you edit topics. TWikiInstallationGuide tells you how to enable authentication.
