Question

I have spent quite some time on this problem. I now have a completely stripped down Apache configuration, with a fresh twiki installation where I have followed the installation instructions religiously.

When I type http://lan-ip-number/wiki I see the welcome page. I click the Configure link to run the configure script and nothing happens. I see a blank screen, no source shown if I right click to view source.

The error log only show a series of errors as follows, nothing else:

Could not write "Plugins: could not fully register SpreadSheetPlugin, no plugin topic" to /warn200611.txt: Permission denied, referer: http://10.254.5.210/wiki/

I have tried both of the workarounds suggested at the bottom of /bin/LocalLib.cfg in case this is the problem. Nothing changes.

My configuration lines in twiki_httpd.conf are:

ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ "/var/www/wiki/bin/"

Alias /twiki/ "/var/www/wiki/"

and so on. I have confirmed that apache is reading this config file by placing a syntax error in it and seeing Apache complain on startup.

Any ideas?

Have you checked if file permissions are correct?

The message "Plugins: could not fully register SpreadSheetPlugin, no plugin topic" is an indication that the {SystemWebName} in configure is set incorrectly or that it can't be read. Check the twiki/bin/LocalLib.cfg setting and the twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg setting.

The message "/warn200611.txt: Permission denied" is an indication that the twiki/data directory or twiki/data/warn200611.txt file is not writable by the Apache user (such as user nobody)

As mentioned, I followed the instructions on twiki.org, so permissions were fine. However, thanks for PeterTheony for mentioning twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg - I copied the .cfg.txt to .cfg, set all the right paths and twiki is working! Thanks so much. Perhaps you should mention this file on the twiki.org installation page.
