SID-02090: Unable to deploy Twiki on Amazon EC2 linux instance

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	5.16.3
Category:	CategoryDeployment	Server OS:	Amazon Linux AMI release 2015.03	Last update:	11 years ago

I am trying to get Twiki-6.0.1 running on Amazon EC2 Linux instance. Have downloaded and installed the software but am not able to proceed with the "configure" portion.

When i access the "/ec2domainip/do/configure" link to initially configure the installation, I get a '404 Not Found" error. I have followed all the instructions found in the web including a) owner of twiki folder is apache:apache b) rights of twiki folder is drwxr-xr-x c) twiki.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory is generated from Apache Generator

Any suggestions? If anybody can help, I can share the ppk / pem file for getting terminal access to the EC2 instance -- I do not have any other data in it. This instance was created only for twiki installation.

Alternately, is there any pre-installed twiki instance available for use under the Free Tier?

Discussion and Answer

Did you restart apache?

/sbin/service httpd restart

Yes. When I access http://ecdomainip/ - i am getting the default apache page

Did you restart after you copied twiki.conf into /etc/httpd/conf.d/?

Check the apache error log to see if you get some hints.

You are right -- when I restarted apache, it is working now -- my apologies.
