Question

I have several domains running on a single OpenBSD vhost account. I also have a Swiki (Squeak Smalltalk Wiki) at another host The Echostar Knowledge Base that I use for collaborative content management. My Swiki host is unreliable, so I mirror it's contents to one of my domains at my vhost. Mirror.

I'd like to set up a TWiki under one of my vhosted domains and migrate the Swiki contents to it (manually) and switch all content management to my much more reliable OpenBSD host.

If anyone out there who has experience with Twiki on vhosted OpenBSD systems would like to share any setup tips, I would be grateful.

Answer

When you say vhost, do you mean Apache virtual hosting? I assume you do, as I don't know of any OpenBSD features to do with virtual hosting. My Apache 1.3.x config for a virtually hosted installation (on Linux, but that shouldn't matter) is:

ScriptAlias /bin/ "/home/rdonkin/twiki/bin/"
ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ "/home/rdonkin/twiki/bin/"
Alias /twiki/ "/home/rdonkin/twiki"
Alias /view "/home/rdonkin/twiki/bin/view"
<Directory "/home/rdonkin/twiki/bin/">
        Options FollowSymlinks ExecCGI
        AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
        SetHandler cgi-script
        Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/rdonkin/twiki/pub">
        Options FollowSymlinks
        AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
        Allow from all
</Directory>

More Info

Thanks, I really should have been more specific. I don't have access to the Apache config files, I'm merely a user of a commercial hosting service who lets me run several domains under one account.

My tree looks like this from a shell session

~/ <- my home directory <- not htdoc enabled
~/private <- not htdoc enabled, but accessible to web enabled cgi
~/www <- htdoc enabled, but not actually used
~/www/echostaruser.org <- first domain
~/www/otherdomain.com <- more domains

I can use .htaccess files. CGI executes as user jbuff with 700 permissions in group users.

More info is available, that I don't wish to post publicly.
