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.
