Question

I am installing Twiki on Windows XP using Indigo perl. I'm going through the TWikiOn instructions and in am suppose to put the statement:

Include c:\twiki\twiki.conf

into my httpd.conf file. When I do this Apache refuses to start. I've tried using quotes, no quotes fore slashes and backslashes. Won't run. Is this a problem with Apache? The include command. The error log in apache throws out a message:

winnt_accept:Asynchronous AcceptEx fail.

Which seems to be a mystery error. When I remove the Include or comment it out with #. Apache starts fine.

FYI My root directories are: c:\indigoperlc:\indigoperl\apache c:\indigoperl\perl c:\twiki

Also, the installation instructions talk about twiki.conf and twiki_httpd_conf. Are these two different files or the same file? Thanks.

I am not familiar with this setup on Windows. For Windows, it might be easier to use TWikiVMDebianStable or TWikiForWindowsPersonal. The latter one is a simple unzip and click to start operation, but is designed just for single use.

This works: include "C:/twiki/twiki.conf".

When the instructions talk about twiki_httpd_conf is the file that is delivered with twiki. Later in the instructions they provide an already configured twiki.conf for you to compare. I have used this twiki.conf and it work ok, provinding you are installing in c:\twiki.

Run "httpd -t" command & you will find where the error is.
