Hi, I have installed twiki in one of the subdomain of my site,So the url is: http//twiki.mysite.com/ but this shows only the configuration page and i can view the main page from this link:http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view. So how can i convert the 2nd link to http://twiki.mysite.com/

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.

There are several ways to show the TWiki home as your site home.

1. Browser redirect. Create a simple HTML page as your site home that contains this in the header:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view/Main/WebHome">

2. Apache rewrite rule. Tell Apache to deliver one URL for another. Not tested example httpd.conf entry:

<Directory />
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^index\.html$  http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view/Main/WebHome [L]
</Directory>

3. Generate a static HTML file from your TWiki home. This can be done in regular intervals with a crontab entry. Example:

0,15,30,45 * * * * cd /path/to/htdocs; /usr/bin/wget -O index.html http://twiki.mysite.com/bin/view/Main/WebHome > .log.txt 2>&1

#2 did not work for me on FC8 using Apache 2.2. Well, it did, but it looks like there wasn't any access to the CSS.
