Question

I'm trying to setup TWiki on my PC and I have followed the TWikiDocumentation page. When i do the testenv part in my browser, it won't load. I check the apache error script and it says:

"...[error] [client ---.---.-.---] File does not exist: c:/apache/htdocs/bin/testenv "

I even made sure that the httpd.conf said c:/twiki and not apache...Any Suggestions????

Did you restart Apache after you made the changes to httpd.conf?

Developers: Please do not assume that every person who tries to install TWiki is an experienced system administrator. There are many people who want to install TWiki but do not fall into the AdminSkillsAssumptions category. Hence the reason why we should make it as easy as possible to install TWiki, and not confront the user with CPAN and make install.

Hi Anonymous,

Can you please tell us some details, like where you unzipped the TWiki .zip file and the contents of your httpd.conf? That will make it easier for us to point at specific problems.

Judging from the looks of your report it looks like your httpd.conf is not correct, or in effect, but it is impossible to help you out before we have more details.

As an alternative, you might try getting "online help" by visitting TWikiIRC.

Here's a useful link regarding stopping/restarting Apache: Click me.

I get this problem too with TWiki (6 Nov 2005, build 7330). If I look in the tarball, the testenv script wasn't included in the release. I then tried to get the script from the Subversion repository (as per the link at WebHome), but received a timeout error from the server - so something's cactus there too.

[Sorry to be an AnonymousCoward but just thought it was worth noting - I don't believe I actually have any TWiki problems at this time.]

testenv is retired in DakarRelease in favor of the new configure script.
