SID-01131: Not able to get TWiki up and running on Windows XP

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:	ActivePerl-5.12.3
Category:	CategoryDeployment	Server OS:	Win XP Professional SP3	Last update:	13 years ago

Hi Everyone.

I installed TWiki on my machine following the instructions on the following page: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWiki04x02WindowsInstallationGuide

The following are version details of the TWiki, Perl and Apachae that I used:

TWiki : TWiki-5.0.1 Perl : ActivePerl-5.12.3 Apachae :Apache2.2 OS: WinXP Professional 32 bit SP3

For the section of 'Apachae2 configuration', I tried placing the line 'Include conf/twiki.conf', first within the '</IfModule>' than also outside of it. I am still not able to get Twiki up and running, by that I mean when I go to the following URL: 'http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure', I get a HTTP 404 not found error. I hope someone can advise me. Thanks.

I am a total newbie to all of this. I have been following the Windows installation guide: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWiki04x02WindowsInstallationGuide I am running: - Windows XP SP2 - Apache 2.0.62 (win32) [C:\Apache2] - ActivePerl 5.12.4 [C:\Perl] - twiki 5.1.1 [C:\www\twiki]

I have been getting the same problems as HareRam where I get 404 errors when trying to access http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure

I have got around this by editing [C:\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf] I changed: - DocumentRoot "C:/Apache2/htdocs" to: - DocumentRoot "C:/www/"

After restarting the Apache server, I was able to continue the steps in the guide
