SID-00983: Help with mywebsite/bin/configure

Hi, When I try an open the configure script with Firefox, I get prompted for a user name and password. I have tried some but cannot get the right one. It says to delete the {password} from LocalSite.cfg. I cannot find the LocalSite.cfg file in the twiki/lib? Should there be one there or at least a LocalSite.cfg.txt file to modify and copy?

thanks

Discussion and Answer

I wanted to use https, so I created the proper keys and had a redirect line in httpd.conf to redirect to https://mywikisite. It seemed to work to access the site. But it was stoping my configure script to run. I comment out the redirection and am now going through the configure script.

I finished the configuration. My issue now is that when I go to http://wiki2.my.private.domain I only get the default apache wep page. From the configuration page, I can link to my wiki at http://wiki2.my.private.domain/bin/view/TWiki/WebHome and all seems fine. How can I get my wiki site with just http://wiki2.my.private.domain?

thanks

HI, I just noticed this now when I restarted httpd could this be my issue with the default page? if so, how can I resolve it?

# Starting httpd: [Tue Sep 28 09:42:54 2010] [warn] default VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence

To replace the default Apache home with a custom page create an index.html in the default document root of Apache, such as in /var/www/html on RedHat/CentOS.

To redirect to your TWiki home, add a redirect meta tag in the header section of your index.html ( Google:html+redirect ), or add an Apache rewrite rule ( Google:apache+rewrite).
