Twiki configuration problems...

linuxlover.chaitanya · 12-29-2008, 02:36 AM

Hello all,

I have downloaded the twiki software from twiki website. I need to make it to work. So I went through the documentation and installation instructions.
All went well. It says I should point my web browser to http://mydomain/twiki/bin/configure to run the script.
The problem with this however is that instead of running the configure script, it shows me the code.
What could be the reason?

In 'configure' file which script is used(php or any other)?

Its perl...

pls cross check all modules installed on your server with http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/...emRequirements

I have already checked with it....and I meet all the requirements.

I got a little further and got configuration script to work. I do not know how though. I configured apache and it magically worked. I might have screwed some apache configuration before.
Now I configure some parameters it asks me to. Then I provide with a password. Then there is a link that says "Go to Twiki Frontpage".
I click that link and have error that says

Code:

-------------------------------------
TWiki Installation Error
Template "oopsattention" not found.

Check the configuration settings for {TemplateDir} and {TemplatePath}.
--------------------------------------

I checked the settings for the said options and those seem to be fine.
How do I move further?

Thanks for spending time for reading the post. Got some more problems but finally solved it myself.

You probably need to adapt the path settings in the files:
.../twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg
.../twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg

to your local settings. This at least solved the same problem for my local TWiki installation.
