I've recently intalled twiki and I have several issues:
1)- When I got the website on a browser, I get a page saying "Welcome to TWiki" with a couple of links to README, LICENSE, Installation Guide, Configure Twki, Twiki upgrate guide and twiki release notes.
How can I prevent access to this page and restraint it to, let's say specific IP addresses ?
2)- To acually get to the main page, I have then to click on "configure twiki" and then click on "Cancel and return to TWiki
WebHome" which only a link to
http://www.mywebsite.com/twiki/bin/view.pl/TWiki/WebHome.
It's a bit of a long address to type, how do I link this to simply
http://www.mywebsite.com/twiki (When I type this, I get to the page cited in the previous issue) ?
3) When I get to the main page, the default template "pattern" does seem to applied and I get a very ugly page instead. How can I sort this ? I have no warnings/errors on the config page....
Many thanks
David

Discussion and Answer
1. I would not enable the /twiki as an htdoc directory. Apache needs to serve only two directories: twiki/bin as cgi bin enabled directory, and twiki/pub as an htdoc directory. Use TWiki access control to restrict access to TWiki itself.
2. From your static homepage link to /twiki/bin/view.pl/TWiki/WebHome.
3. Possibly because the styles are not applied. Make sure the /twiki/pub is an htdoc enabled directory.
ApacheConfigGenerator comes in handy.
