Question

In the instructions on installing plugins there is often an instruction along the lines of "unzip the zip archive in your TWiki installation directory - if have a standard TWiki installation, this will distribute automatically." I can't find any such directory in my standard installation of TWiki so I am wondering what this is about. Will it work on a hosted domain?

• TWiki version: Dec 2001
• Web server: Apache
• Server OS: Linux
• Web browser: IE 5
• Client OS: Mac OSX

Answer

This just means wherever you originally installed the TWiki scripts and topics, e.g. /home/twiki on a Linux box. If your bin, data and other directories are spread out, you'll need to manually copy over the appropriate files to each directory.

I spent some time reworking the installation instruccions to fit hosted environments... This is a work in progress, but you can take a look at AnibalRojas.

Very useful instructions, thanks for the pointer. Even if they are not finished, it would be good to post them in Codev as a separate page, so that they are easier to find - you can just put a warning at the top to say that they are still alpha quality, as I did with WindowsInstallCookbook. It would be good to link to your new page from TWikiOnWebHostingSites (this already points to some installation instructions at HostedTWikiRCSInstall - perhaps you could compare with your page?).

I´ll be posting the instructions in Codev. Thanks for your comments!
