In the 5/1/2000 Documentation, the installation steps are not consistant with Apache 1.3.9 (which ships with Mandrake Linux 7).
The /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file now contains all the relevent items to customize for the twiki install, but it MUST have the
"ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ /home/httpd/twiki/bin/ "
before the
"Alias /twiki/ /home/httpd/twiki/ "
This was the only really counter-intuitive portion of the install.

I'm new to Twiki, but in my setup I wanted the twiki home to not be at the document root. I have it below /intranet/. I could only get this working when I put the ScriptAlias commands before all the Alias commands relating to /intranet/ (and below), and incidentally, before all the <directory> commands for /intranet/ as well. I don't know which of these constraints are necessary and sufficient conditions, but this worked for me. In the hope this helps someone else...
