Question

OK This is goofy but - I have successfully (I think) installed Twiki on a win2K platform and have also successfully(I think) created a new User. The user was added to the htpasswd file and I see it in the user list.

How do I log in now as this user so I can make edits. I do know that I am having some trouble with the rcs permissions because I get this error when I try to save the changes on my new users (TitanTest) web page.

####Start Error Text

During save of file TitanTest an error was found by the version control system. Please notify your TWiki administrator. D:/cygwin/bin/ci -x,v -q -l -m"none" -t-none -w"guest" c:/twiki/data/Main/TitanTest.txt 2>&1 1>NUL ci: /twiki/bin/c/temp/T2008372: Permission denied ci aborted

Go back in your browser and save your changes locally.

####End Error Text

Three questions Please:

1) How do I log in as a new user that was created. 2) Why is my ci trying to get to twiki/bin/c/temp when I have my tmp and temp variables set to 'c:/temp'? 3) What is the best way to set up the directories and file permissions on a Win2K system? I followed the windows cookbook and have been having plenty of issues.

Thanks so much for you help everyone.

Answer

You log in by hitting the Edit button, like TWiki.org.

Please read the SupportGuidelines and provide the information requested in there, particularly your TWiki.cfg and output of the latest testenv from CVSget:bin/testenv. It looks like the TEMP variables in Apache are set to c/temp rather than /c/temp.

Are you trying to run ntsec security under Cygwin? If so, you will have issues as the cookbook mentions. If not, there aren't any permissions issues that I've seen.
