Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.0	Perl version:	5.10

<verbatim>

httpd.conf looks like this:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">

AllowOverride None

Options ExecCGI

SetHandler cgi-script Order allow,deny Allow from all

</Directory>

I installed twiki in /var/www/twiki (this is my twiki root directory)

my /etc/httpd/conf.d/twiki.conf looks like this

ScriptAlias /bin "/var/www/twiki/bin"

Alias /pub "/var/www/twiki/pub"

<Directory "/var/www/twiki/bin">
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
Deny from env=blockAccess

Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
SetHandler cgi-script

# Password file for TWiki users
AuthUserFile /var/www/twiki/data/.htpasswd
AuthName 'Enter your WikiName: (First name and last name, no space, no dots, capitalized, e.g. JohnSmith)'
AuthType Basic

# File to return on access control error (e.g. wrong password)
ErrorDocument 401 /bin/register

</Directory>

What url to use to execute my /var/www/twiki/configure script ??

Discussion and Answer

ScriptAlias /bin "/var/www/twiki/bin" indicates that you should use http://your.example.com/bin/configure.

I don't recommend using apache login, better to use the template login. If you use apache login make sure to exclude the configure script from = require valid-user=.

Use the ApacheConfigGenerator to generate twiki.conf for apache.
