Question

Hi, I am installing Twiki 4.0.2 onto a Centos 4.2 server. I have installed as per the instructions but am now at the point where I try to access http://myhost.co.uk/twiki/bin/configure

At this point I get the following:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /twiki/bin/configure on this server.

Looking in the /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log I get the following message when trying to run configure from my browser: [Wed Jul 05 16:03:47 2006] [error] [client my.ipadd] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /usr/local/twiki/bin/configure

I have had a look around and other people have similar problems but I have been unable to find a suitable solution.

Any help is much appreciated. Luke

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.

From the path you are using it sounds like you are using an Apache installed from sources.

Two topics can help you. ApacheConfigGenerator can generate a twiki.conf file for you which you simply include from within your httpd.conf file.
