Question

Finished Installation. Trying Registration: Changed configure to : TWiki::Client::TemplateLogin TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser

created and empty file at /home/twiki/data/.htpasswd

Now trying to register user I got the code by email , but activating it gives Invalid Code Error both by using the ling and by entering th code manually.

An email saying the User was activated is sent though but no no user..

Also How do I set the first user with Admin permissions? (manually?)

Can the .htpasswd file editted manually ? Should something be added to httpd.conf ?

[the htpasswd file has permissions for the twiki apache user + is in the place defined by configure] TX Hezki

Answer

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.

I will try to be more specific and clear :

Following instructions for setting Authentication with .htpasswd . it does not work.

Entering the Registration Code just gives an error page saying Code Invalid. (but it was exaclt the code sent by email)

Thanks

Looking at the apache error log file , I found the error was due to the default admin email address of webmaster@examplePLEASENOSPAM.com

Could not change the WIKIWEBMASTER param in the topic : TWikiPreferences because I had to logon to an authorized user first, which I could not

So I've edited the files TWikiPreferneces.txt and TWikiPrefences.txt,v under /data to change that email address. (hope that's not too harmful)

Now Registration is working and I can configure Permissions and all.
