I am new to the Perl, Apache and Twiki. I have installed twiki and its running now. But its being displayed distorted and also images are not being displayed.

Discussion and Answer

Though I am trying to explore more and more about twiki using google searches, I have done the following. -> used the addhandler for pubs category. -> used defaulthandler -> uncommented the following in httpd.conf EnableMMAP off EnableSendfile off

I have also attached the conf files of apache and twiki for your reference.

This looks like an Apache config issue for the TWiki directories, D:/Twiki/twiki/pub/ seems to be configured as a cgi directory. It needs to be configured as a document root directory.

See also ApacheConfigGenerator.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
