Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	windows 7	Last update:	10 years ago

Hi Team,

I am planning to create a webpage for knowledge sharing within team. And i have installed the Twiki, apache and Perl in my windows machine. and also, i have used apache confiurator for tiwki.conf file and places it in httpd.conf file,. I am getting 403 or 500 error while trying the access the app

I am sure here i am doing the mistake in apache confige generator. Please let me know what it's mean

URL path of the TWiki bin directory containing the scripts (mandatory): URL path of the TWiki pub directory containing file attachments (mandatory):

Here the twiki.conf alias ..

ScriptAlias /TWiki-4.2.0/bin "C:/www/TWiki-4.2.0/bin"

# The Alias defines a url that points to the twiki pub directory, which # is the root of file attachments. Alias /TWiki-4.2.0 "C:/www/TWiki-4.2.0/pub"

# This specifies the options on the TWiki scripts directory. The ExecCGI # and SetHandler tell apache that it contains scripts. "Allow from all" # lets any IP address access this URL. <Directory "C:/www/TWiki-4.2.0/bin"> AllowOverride None Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Deny from env=blockAccess

If above is correct, how should access the site

Discussion and Answer

While it is possible to install TWiki natively on Windows, you will spend considerable time with installation. I recommend to DownloadTWikiVM and run it in a virtualization environment on Windows, such as VMware. The performance is likely also better that way.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
