Question

When I click on "configure" I get code spit out and no options mentioned in the TWiki support pages. I've read through the support pages for a possible answer but could not find one.

I am trying to set it up at this site "http://www.charnelhound.com/fenris/chapitredisparue/twiki/" but its just not working. I am obviously doing something wrong, but as far as I can see, the hosting site is using everything that Twiki works with. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

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.

if you are seeing the code when you goto configure, it means that you web server is not reating that file / directory as a cgi script, just as a normal file to serve out.

have you set up the twiki/bin directory to match your hosting companie's setup for perl cgi scripts?

Sorry to sound like a complete newb, but whereabouts do I set the bin directory to the perl cgi script?

-- JaimeFenton - 27 Apr 2007

that, I'm sorry depends on your hosting providor - its a web server setting. Chances are that they support the .htaccess file that is dummied up in the bin dir, but its impossible to know - where as your hosting providor will know how they deal with perl cgi's.

Have you set the .htaccess in the bin directory? There is a sample file with TWiki that comes names as .htaccess.txt. You want to copy it to .htaccess. That may do the business. If it doesn't, ask your hosting people.
