Question

After a successful installation and a few hours of adding content, all backgrounds, icons, colors, etc. disappeared -- all that's left is text. I guess that the pub directory is somehow not being served, but the permissions are set to rwxr-xr-x and the configure script points to pub correctly. I didn't make any changes to the configuration, or to any of the files, between when it worked and when it stopped working. The configure script does not report any warnings or errors, and the formatting on that script is fine. If I try to browse to something in the pub directory from my browser, I get redirected to a twiki access denied page, even if I take away the .htaccess file in pub.

I am on a hosted linux server, used the recommended .htaccess files, left the permissions as they were set in the archive, and otherwise had a straightforward installation. thanks for any help!!

Are you sure that your path settings are correct? You have ScriptUrlPath = /cgi-bin/twiki/bin but PubUrlPath = /wiki/pub. You will have to have set the access rights resp. path settings in your apache configuration file correctly.

Thanks for the response Franz. The path settings are correct, being in different locations because of my hosting's cgi-bin location. I did figure out the problem, though. I put this statement in my web root's .htaccess:

redirect /wiki http://site.org/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/Main/Webhome

what I didn't realize was that everything beneath /wiki, including pub, would also be redirected. I changed the first part to /wiki/index.html, and everything works fine now.

Now you can start to customize the skin to your needs.
