Question

Forgive me but this is probably more of an Apache support question than a Twiki question, per se. I have never been able to display any images on my site. I have looked at the question ImagesNotLoading and I'm sure it's relevant but I am not as familiar with Apache as the person who asked that question - I suspect my Apache config is wrong.

This is what I get when I reload the /twiki/bin/testenv/ page:

192.168.xxx.xxx - - [13/Feb/2004:12:19:11 +0000] "GET /twiki/bin/testenv/ HTTP/1.1" 200 11458 192.168.xxx.xxx - - [13/Feb/2004:12:19:11 +0000] "GET /twiki/pub/wikiHome.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 304

When I go to my main pages at http://myserver/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome I get this:

192.168.xxx.xxx - - BillBest [13/Feb/2004:12:22:53 +0000] "POST /twiki/bin/save/Main/DesignDocs HTTP/1.1" 302 5

192.168.xxx.xxx - - [13/Feb/2004:12:22:59 +0000] "GET /twiki/pub/Main/WebHome/cmslogo.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 316

so the twiki/pub path is wrong.

I copied the example httpd.conf entries verbatim from here -
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiDocumentation#TWiki_Installation_Guide - Step 1: Create & Configure the Directories:

ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ "/home/httpd/twiki/bin/"
Alias /twiki/ "home/httpd/twiki/"
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/bin">
   Options +ExecCGI
   SetHandler cgi-script
   Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/pub">
   Options FollowSymLinks +Includes
   AllowOverride None
   Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/data">
   deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/templates">
   deny from all
</Directory>

I have left the Apache cgi-bin script aliasing in place - this comes before the above:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin">
   AllowOverride None
   Options None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

Please see my current TWiki.cfg file and the output of testenv - I have removed anything to identify my server.

There is obviously something very simple that I am missing.

TIA

Answer

OK, I have fixed this problem now.

What it was, was that I had a crucial slash (/) missing from my config as is now shown above.

The erroneous line read: Alias /twiki/ "home/httpd/twiki/" which is wrong (/home required).

I had checked this three times... How annoying. :o)

ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ "/home/httpd/twiki/bin/"
Alias /twiki/ "/home/httpd/twiki/"
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/bin">
   Options +ExecCGI
   SetHandler cgi-script
   Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/pub">
   Options FollowSymLinks +Includes
   AllowOverride None
   Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/data">
   deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/httpd/twiki/templates">
   deny from all
</Directory>

I have left the Apache cgi-bin script aliasing in place - this comes before the above:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin">
   AllowOverride None
   Options None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>
