SID-00986: New install help with adding user to TWikiAdminGroup

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.0	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Centos 5.5	Last update:	15 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to add myself in the Main.TWikiAdminGroup. I log in as the twiki admin user and edit the TWikiAdminGroup and add the following line.

  * Set GROUP = MytwikiUsername

I save and have a look at the TWikiAdminGroup and cannot see my user in the group.

Have I misunderstood the set GROUP command?

thanks

Discussion and Answer

Setting the bullet is the proper way to add your WikiName to the group.

Not seeing the result after saving the topic it could mean that the file permissions are not correct. Make sure directories (and its content) below twiki/data, twiki/pub, twiki/working is owned by your webserver user (apache.apache on CentOS by default).

Thanks, I already di a chown -R apache:apache /var/www/twiki at the end of setting it up, just in case it was permission related.

Not sure what else it could be? Would a wikiAdminUser have different priveledges, that might otherwise be blocked as a SuperTwiki admin user?

Thanks

Let me double check if I understand correctly: You modify the TWikiAdminGroup topic so that the Set GROUP bullet lists your WikiName. Once you save the topic you do not see your WikiName. Is this the case? Or you do not see it elsewhere?

Sorry, I was adding a new line as opposed to modyfing the line at the top. I thought the top line was for explication only.

regards
