SID-00035: Firefox will not run Configure

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.4	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Ubuntu 8.04	Last update:	17 years ago

When pointed to /var/www/twiki/bin/configure Not Found The requested URL /var/www/twiki/bin/configure was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.4 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80

but it configure is in that directory. Does it need a particular extension or does Firefox need to be configured somehow?

try http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure

That was interesting. 403 Forbidden, I don't have permission to access /twiki/bin/configure on this server. Permission for /var/www/twiki/bin/configure is set to www-data.www-data read only. Should it be something else?

Check your Apache settings, either twiki.conf in the Apache config directory, or .htaccess in twiki/bin. Look for a <FilesMatch "^(configure)$"> directive. The Require user line determines who can execute the configure script. Uncomment that line until you have your admin users registered properly in TWiki.

Learn more at Apache docs, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#filesmatch

Thank you. I remade Twiki.conf with the ApacheConfigGenerator. I removed my Linux user name and put localhost in the section that preceded it and was allow to run the script.
