SID-02025: Can't login

Hello,

I'm installing twiki on AIX7.1 with IBM HTTP Server 6.0.2. They installation is correct but when I go to http://XXXXXXX/do/configure and appears the check to login, I don't know the name neither the password and I try removing in LocalSite.cfg the line which you explain to remove and nothing. It would be maybe about permissions? Thanks

Discussion and Answer

I am not familiar with the IBM HTTP server. How did you create the HTTP server configuration file for TWiki? Not sure if the ApacheConfigGenerator can be used, but you might be able to learn from it.

In any case make sure that TWiki's configure script does not require an authenticated user.

Once the HTTP server configuration for TWiki is done you can configure TWiki itself. The twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg file is created the first time you save the configuration in the configure script. Delete the LocalSite.cfg to start from scratch.

I have this log in the error and i saw the user in twiki/data/.htpasswd

Error: [17/Feb/2015:08:55:42 -0500] "GET /do/configure HTTP/1.1" 404 - [17/Feb/2015:08:55:51 -0500] "GET /do/configure HTTP/1.1" 404 -

User:

# cat /twiki/twiki/data/.htpasswd [admin]:hnsPLy/sHZAu6

A 404 means not found. That is, the webserver is not configured properly to recognize /do/ as a script-enabled directory.

The configure script does not use the data/.htpasswd, it stores the admin password in the lib/LocalSite.cfg file.

Thanks, in LocalSite.cfg i have like this:

# Configuration password (not prompted) $TWiki::cfg{Password} = '';

In twiki.conf I have defined the /do like this:

ScriptAlias /do "/twiki/twiki/bin"

And the permission of this driectory is: drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 4096 Feb 09 10:54 bin

Check the webserver error log.
