# The ScriptAlias defines the bin directory as a directory where CGI

# It must come _after_ the ScriptAlias.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I could not find anything odd. You can try to disable the ScriptAlias and Alias directives and see if that fixes the error. Are you on host? if so, then you might want to ask server what path to put into the directory directive because sometimes it is not what it seems to be.

It looks like your {PubDir} and/or {PubUrlPath} are incorrect. Run configure and make sure they point to the right location.

I have a quite similar problem with tkwiki 4.2 and 4.3 (tried both) on XP, following mainly the 4.2 installation guide 1. Pub-directory {PubDir} and/or {PubUrlPath} had to be set to twiki/data for finding the right files, the pub-dir was not unzipped during the installation. 2. The file named in the error-log does not exist: C:/WWW/twiki/pub/TWiki/BehaviourContrib, fof apache seem to be a result of the .txt ending of the files, in this example TWikiJavascripts, copying such a file BehaviourContrib.txt to BehaviourContrib this file was found, but an error for behaviour.compressed.js occured. Is it a kind of registration error of the filetype txt?

Problem solved for me: The intallation zip.-file came witout the pub-directory, using the tgz-version everything went fine.
