When I run

http://<ip>/do/configure, I get the following error:

Configuration file /var/apache/htdocs/twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg does not exist, and I cannot write a new configuration file due to these errors: /var/apache/htdocs/twiki/lib/ is not writable

I do not see a file /var/apache/htdocs/twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg .

bash-3.2# ls -l /var/apache/htdocs/twiki/lib/

Please help me in configuring twiki.

Discussion and Answer

All files and directory below the twiki root need to be owned and writable by the webserver user. Also, do NOT install TWiki in the htdocs directory, exposing all files via http is a security hazard. Please follow the TWikiInstallationGuide and use the ApacheConfigGenerator.

The LocalSite.cfg file is created the first time you save your configure settings.
