Question

Hi. I am very new both to twiki as well as my Mac system. I have downloaded the twiki-4.0.2 version installed for Mac. The setup process was smooth. While CPAN modules were being installed a few softwares(ncftpd-2.8.2, wget, lynx-2.8.6, GnuPG 1.4.1) were not available on the system. I downloaded those immediately and installed them. However I had to hit the return key in the terminal window and I am not sure if the softwares I installed were read. Other than this everything else was smooth and I got the "successfully installed" message for both twiki-CPAN as well as twiki installers. Upon completion the browser(safari) came up with the url 'http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure' but it was a '404 not found' error. I opened the 'LocalSite.cfg' file in the directory Sites/lib (by the way I am the root) and changed the default url host to 'http://duffman.local' and saved it. I then tried the url 'http://duffman.local/twiki/bin/configure' with the same result as earlier. I am stuck at this point. I tried reinstalling the packages again but I did not have any improvement. I donot have much knowledge of either mac, unix or twiki to figure out where to look for the error. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Anand

Answer

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.

You should attach your configuration files (apache/twiki) and explain about your file layout for us to be able to comment on this.

But it does sound like either apache configuration or configure settings are not entirely right yet

The apache server is ok and I can access http://localhost/~root/twiki/ but the page http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure/ just does not come up and neither does .../bin/view/ . Please help, here are some main files (i think) ...let me know some other files are needed...

The following is my root.conf

### START TWIKI
ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ "/Users/root/Sites/twiki/bin/"
Alias /twiki/ "/Users/root/Sites/twiki/"
<Directory "/Users/root/Sites/twiki/bin">
AllowOverride all
Options +ExecCGI
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/Users/root/Sites/twiki/data">
Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/Users/root/Sites/twiki/lib">
Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/Users/root/Sites/twiki/templates">
Deny from all
</Directory>
### END TWIKI

This is attached to my httpd.conf at the end as Include /private/etc/httpd/users/root.conf

This is my ~/Sites/Twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg

# LocalLib.cfg: local path settings for TWiki
use vars qw( $twikiLibPath $CPANBASE );

# -------------- Path to lib directory containing TWiki.pm. # The absolute path to the 'lib' directory in your installation..

$twikiLibPath = "/Users/root/Sites/twiki/lib";

1;

This is my ~/Sites/TWiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg

# URL for TWiki host e.g. http://myhost.com:123
$cfg{DefaultUrlHost} = 'http://localhost';

# cgi-bin URL path for TWiki e.g. /twiki/bin
$cfg{ScriptUrlPath} = '/twiki/bin';

# Attachments URL path e.g. /twiki/pub
$cfg{PubUrlPath} = '/twiki/pub';

# Attachments store file path (not URL), must match /twiki/pub e.g.
# /usr/local/twiki/pub
$cfg{PubDir} = '/Users/root/Sites/twiki/pub';

# Template directory e.g. /usr/local/twiki/templates
$cfg{TemplateDir} = '/Users/root/Sites/twiki/templates';

# Topic files store (file path not URL) e.g. /usr/local/twiki/data
# TWiki will use this path to base other defaults, such as the location
# of password files.
$cfg{DataDir} = '/Users/root/Sites/twiki/data';

# TWiki.cfg will use this path to default where to put log files, unless
# you override individual paths here.
$cfg{LogDir} = $cfg{DataDir};

This looks alright. Perhaps the root.conf is probably not effective for the localhost virtual host?

How does your httpd.conf look?
