Question

Hi,

I am trying to install a TWiki at an intranet platform so I do not have root access. I did everything as described in the documentation but when I start to run the configure script I will get an internal server error saying "configuration error: couldn't perform authentication. AuthType not set!: /twiki/bin/configure"

However, when I use basic authentification in the .htaccess and also create a .htpasswd, i will get the error message access to /twiki/bin/configure failed, reason: user Alex not allowed access

Can anybody help me with this issue? I have no idea where else to look for the error...

Thanks

Answer

The problem is in your apache config, probably in .htaccess. Make sure you have told Apache where your .htpasswd is correctly; it sounds like you are pointing at the wrong place.
