Question

I'm trying to install TWiki on Mac OS X 10.0 retail release, and look at it over a local network.

From my other client computer, I am not seeing the wikiHome.gif image when I (successfully) run the testenv script. It gives me a message saying $pubUrlPath /twiki/pub, but the /twiki/pub/wikiHome.gif image is broken.

I have set up the entry in httpd.conf as follows,

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/twiki/pub">
   Options FollowSymLinks +Includes
   AllowOverride None
   Allow from all
</Directory>

I have set pub to 777 "drwxrwxrwx"

so why isn't pub getting through?

Thanks!

• TWiki version: 20001201
• Web server:Apache/1.3.14 (Darwin)
• Server OS: Mac OSX 10.0.1

Answer

In your httpd.conf file, do you have a line like:

Alias /twiki/pub/ "/Library/WebServer/twiki/pub"?

Answer

Yes, thanks. I didn't have the line. After adding it I still don't see it, but get an error message from Apache which suggests changing it to

Alias /twiki/pub/ "/Library/WebServer/twiki/pub/"

and then sure enough I can see the little image. Whether everything else works must await my configuration of rcs, which I (believe I have in the meantime) discovered does not come with OS X. (See RCSConfigurationOnMacOSX.)

See TWikiOnMacOSX for more hints on using TWiki with MacOS X.
