SID-00141: Problem with Configuration on RedHat Linux

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:
Category:	CategoryAuthentication	Server OS:	RedHat Linux	Last update:	17 years ago

I had installed Twiki 4.2 on my linux and it was running fine. I just tried to install one plug-in for creating windows explorer style expand & collapse facility. Before doing this I had taken backup of previous and modified but unfortunately it did not work and therefore I back on the last version. Due to this by mistakenly right was and ownership was changed. I revert back all the rights (I think) but when calling http://localhost/Twiki/bin/configure from my server getting a dialog that asking for user name and password which earlier not asking (rather opening a configuration page)

Please provide the solution at the earliet. Thanks in advance Sanjeev

Discussion and Answer

Sanjeev,

Please check your apache configuration file for twiki - you must have section similar to following:

<FilesMatch "^configure.*">
        SetHandler cgi-script
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.10
        Require user JohnDoe
        Satisfy Any
</FilesMatch>

Userdatabase is generally - AuthUserFile /home/httpd/twiki/data/.htpasswd if you are not using any other authentication method

Cheers,

Actual problem was, I was working from other system as my actual system was currupted and in twiki.conf, my system IP was allowed. I was changing the IP but not restarting the Apache and therefore it was asking user name and password.

Again I got good support from SopanShewale

So the problem is fixed now.
