Question

I installed the twiki in my winxp system following the cookbook "http://localhost/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration" successfully. But After I run the twiki services, I found I can not register a user: 1) I entered my infomation in the register page: http://localhost/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration

2) When I submit, the web redirected to another url:http://localhost/twiki/bin/register/Main/WebHome, but this page can not be displayed. the error infomation means the page can not be shown.

My question is: 1) In the install process, system have not prompt me to set a admin user(different to mediawiki), after installation, I don't know how to set a admin user. 2) Can you tell me where can I find the metarial for configure twiki in windows? 3) Can you help me for the register problem mentioned before?

If you know it, please help me, I have spent a lot of time on it, your help will save me. thanks very much!!

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.

Do you have a login manager set up? (configure/Security Setup/{Login Manager}) If appropriate is {HtPasswd}{FileName} set up correctly? Can the web server user access the password file?

The default admin group is Main.TWikiAdminGroup. You can change the default under configure if you really want to. Go to the group page (Main.TWikiAdminGroup) and edit it to add yourself.

please see INSTALL.html in the root of the distributed TWiki archive. It covers Enable Authentication of Users, which tells you what to configure, and covers creating an initial user and adding it to the admin group
