Question

I have configured with only two configuration warnings. I can't register myself because Twiki on registration submit keeps going to http://phxcorptwiki01/bin/register/Main/WebHome which doesn't seem to exist. I get a page cannot be displayed form. This happens despite my adding my wikiname to the TAdminGroup.

The official message is Cannot find server or DNS Error Internet Explorer

I can't even logon as TWikiRegistrationAgent.

I have tracked down the problem to Net::SMTP not being able to relay to Webmaster@examplePLEASENOSPAM.com. I have looked at changing the webmaster email. I haven't found where either in configure or a text file. Anybody know how to do this? No matter what I do it won't change to the new email address I set for the WIKIWEBMASTER variable. I discovered that I was calling crypt instead of SHA1 for Windows. However, even with this I keep getting the server not found message.

Please create a WIKIWEBMASTER and WIKIWEBMASTERNAME setting in your TWikiPreferences topic (default settings are in TWikiPreferences.)

The TWikiRegistrationAgent is a TWiki nternal account, you cannot login as that user.

If the resulting URL is incorrect, run configure and check the settings. Attach the output here if needed.

This exchange will be much better if you mind me contacting you by email so I can attach screenshots etc.

This is what I expected: A master admin account I could log in with initially. Every system I have used has this. Using this I should be able to review each user profile and correct any problems. Not knowing better(was a Guest) I added my profile with an email address by bulk when I got the initial DNS error. Since I can't see myself on the user list I attempted to reregister which fails because I am on file. It doesn't fail to send me an email however. The general logon fails. When I try to get a forgotten password, it says that it doesn't have an email address to do this. Here is the source for the configuration file. I hope that you can make sense of it. I had previously set up a WIKIWEBMASTER variable - no quotes. Neither the name or the above variable is listed in the twiki preferences site so I don't have an example to work with. I need to get this fixed since a lot of people are looking over my shoulder.

Sorry I can't help you out. Hopefully someone with Windows knowledge can help you out.

Can someone point me at the user database so I can get a better handle on this problem. Possibly I can start over again if I can eliminate the bulk account I created for myself.

The authentication setup / user database is pointed out in configure, usually a .htpasswd file in the file system.
