I am a novice trying an install on my hosted site. I have set up my directories like this:

/bin/
/dev/
/etc/
/home/
/lib/
/temp/
/usr/
	  /bin/
	  /lib/
	  /local/
				/bin/
				/cpanel/
				/frontpage/		
				/etc/
						/counter/
						/httpd/
								 /cgi-bin/
											/twiki/
													/bin/
								 /cgi-src/
								 /conf/
								 /htdocs/
										  /twiki/
												 /pub/ 
								 /icons/
								 /logs/
								 /twiki/	 
										 /data/
										 /templates/
				
/var/

I'm making a little progress. Does this look ok so far?

Made a few more changes, and finally got the message; "Forbidden, you don't have access on this server", when I typed in http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/. I must be making a little progress...

Answer

The "Forbidden" message you get for accessing http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/ is actually what you want because you should not be able to see the content of a cgi-enabled directory. Try http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/testenv to see if you can execute cgi scripts.

Here are the wikicfg.pm settings you probably need in your case:

$wikiHomeUrl		= "http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view";
$defaultUrlHost	= "http://my.domain.com";
$scriptUrlPath	 = "/cgi-bin/twiki/bin";
$pubUrlPath		 = "/twiki/pub";
$pubDir			  = "/usr/local/etc/home/httpd/htdocs/twiki/pub";
$templateDir		= "/usr/local/etc/home/httpd/twiki/templates";
$dataDir			 = "/usr/local/etc/home/httpd/twiki/data";

Thank you. I was able to execute CGI scripts at first, (testenv), but now I get "Internal Server Error". I have some "warnings", and some "errors" on the original "Test the CGI environment for TWiki" report. I will keep working on it. If I can't get it working, should I post the original "Test the CGI Environment for TWiki" report?
