SID-00248: Twiki Installation in Plesk and Perl Issues??

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.0	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	RHEL 5	Last update:	16 years ago

Hi Folks,

I have very limited experience with TWiki or Linux for that matter, but i need to resolve an issue.

My project requires migration of the existing TWiki, which is no biggie.

Except, that I am using a Plesk Virtual domain and that deviates from standard install.

If i do a simple install, everything works, but i am getting the following output while the TWiki is configured with its virtual domain in Plesk.

PLS help me out with this one :>

Thanks in advance,

Discussion and Answer

It basically means that your webserver considers the twiki/bin directory a html document directory. Configure your webserver to treat this directory as a cgi-bin directory. Alternatively, move the twiki/bin directory under your cgi-bin enabled directory below your virtual domain, and configure TWiki to use that directory.
