I have successfully configured Twiki on my windows server. I am able to create user and logon with admin account. But when I am trying to logon with my newly created account, receiving error as below Oops: we could not recognize you. Try again or reset your password.

Discussion and Answer

Can you tell more about what authentication mechanism you have chosen, and how you've configured it?

I am using TWiki:Login Manager:i Login Template and user mapping TWiki User Mapping

Is your e-mail configured properly? Did you receive an e-mail when you registered? Registration might not complete properly if e-mail is not working. Check entry in twiki/data/.htpasswd, Main.TWikiUsers page and actual user homepage.

Thanks! Finally I was able to configure Twiki on my RedHat linux. I am able to register new account but one problem I am facing here is that no confirmation mail is sent on his email id provided at the time of registration. I have enabled sendmail and started the service in my linux server. The setting in my LocalSite.cfg is as for sending the email

$TWiki::cfg{WebMasterEmail} = 'sanjeevk.jha@orange-ftgroup.com';
$TWiki::cfg{WebMasterName} = 'TWiki Administrator';
$TWiki::cfg{MailProgram} = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oeq';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{MAILHOST} = 'localhost';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{SENDERHOST} = '';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Username} = '';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Password} = '';
$TWiki::cfg{RemoveImgInMailnotify} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{NotifyTopicName} = 'WebNotify';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Debug} = 0;

Please provide the solution and thanks in advance

Install CPAN:Net::SMTP and set $TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{MAILHOST} to an actual mail server that accepts mail.

Now I am able to receive email if only if following checkbox is not checked {Register}{AllowLoginName}

{Register}{NeedVerification}

If I checked both then receive following error

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.
