Question

TWiki 4.0.2 has been installed and am testing recovery of data to new server. In the process I discovered that if I run the /bin/configure script from a browser, I get prompted for username and password. I tried my TWiki account but it did't work. Is there a way to determine what account is needed (I am assuming its looking for the credentials from when the configure script was originally run but I can't recall those). Thx

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

That depends a bit on your authentication setp. Check the .htaccess file in your twiki bin directory (or the Apache configuration file, depending on your setup) for the AuthUserFile setting. It should point to your twiki/data/.htpasswd file, and it should contain your account. Also check the FilesMatch setting for configure, set it to:

<FilesMatch "configure.*">
       require user "EdwardWJSmith"
</FilesMatch>
