SID-02159: Can't load Twiki home

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.2	Perl version:	5
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Linux	Last update:	9 years ago

I ran through the installation process and received no errors. At the end it tells me to click to view my Twiki site, so I click and I get a 404 error that tries to open to my normal website instead of Twiki.

However, if I rename /bin/view to /bin/view.cgi and use this in the URL it works: http://velaresystems.com/twiki/bin/view.cgi

I'm guessing it's something to do with my config file? I read in the instructions you have to update ScriptSuffix to include .cgi but I'm not sure where in the config file to do this, I see ScriptSuffix in a lot of places and I changed them all from:

::cfg{ScriptSuffix} to ::cgi{ScriptSuffix}

Please help!

Discussion and Answer

can you reach the http://ip/do/configure page?

Hi Chris, yes I can but I've already ran through this configure too, should I do it again?

Okay I got it figured out. I forgot to setup the .htaccess file in the /bin directory. Everything is loading correctly now after I removed the .cgi from the file names.

ooh roger... so I had an issue myself where I couldnt get the /do/configure to come up.. I tried to ask in another thread and am not getting anywhere.. I ended up using the free vm they provided
