Hi , I am installing Twiki for the frist time, when i run "http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure" through the browser as instructed in installation guide it is asking for username/passwd (with a pop-up window). As admin username/passwd is not created yet, what should be done to overcome this

Discussion and Answer

If you are using apache- check your apache configuration for following section

<FilesMatch "^configure.*">
        SetHandler cgi-script
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.10
        Require user JohnDoe
        Satisfy Any
</FilesMatch>
