SID-01007: Install Twiki on vhost system

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:	5.10.1-8ubuntu2
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Ubuntu 10.04, kernel 2.6.32.21	Last update:	15 years ago

My server is configured with websites in /var/www/ and several sites available in vhost configs from /etc/apache2/sites-available/.

I try to install TWiki on a vhost but cannot let it work. I put the whole vhost config from the config generator inside a <VirtualHost> entry, but that didn't work.

How am I able to enable a site twiki with my vhost setup, located at my twiki.domain.tld and placed at /var/www/twiki ?

Discussion and Answer

Not sure on details on virtual hosts, but what needs to happen is to expose two directories in the virtual host:

1. the twiki/bin as a cgi-bin enabled directory
2. the twiki/pub as a html enabled directory

Once this is done properly at the Apache level you can configure TWiki to use those directories.
