SID-01065: install based on svn not like non svn install

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:	v5.10.1
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	ubuntu 10.4, kernel 2.6.32-26	Last update:	15 years ago

I've installed twiki on my server following the http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiInstallationGuide successfully (the ApacheConfigGenerator topic was most helpful!)

However when I follow the directions for topic http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/SubversionBasedTWikiInstall "Installing everything" I've been unsuccessful. Only thing I did different is to name my root directory ./twiki-trunk. I configure Apache to use the TWiki in /var/www/twiki/core using the ApacheConfigGenerator. Ran the configure script from the browser and resolved all the warnings. But the site is mess up. Not sure what I did wrong ;-( I'll try to attach a screen shot of the home page. I noticed I get some permission issues when I try to look at various topics. I followed the step for the topic TWiki:TWiki.SettingFileAccessRightsLinuxUnix , didn't change the result.

Discussion and Answer

Love when I find out the answer myself..... Found this bit of documentation up in the in the http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/SubversionBasedTWikiInstall topic:

Note: If the apache error log has lots of Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible type messages, then you probably need to add +FollowSymLinks to the Options for the /var/www/twikidev/core/pub directory in your apache configuration.

That correct the problem with my svn installed twiki website.

I'll add the same note farther down in the topic under the "Installing everything" section. It might save someone else a bit of time.
