Hi, I tried to setup TWiki in our oraganisation. The files belong to user twiki and group foo. All files are (as described in the doc) accesable by user nobody. I use apache for a web server.

Due to a request .htaccess and .ht.passwd are enabled. Unfortunately it is not possible to add a user AND his password. As a result the user is added without a password which makes it impossible for him to log on.

Any thoughts and/or suggestions ????

Thanks

Tom .

Answer

Did you rename TWikiRegistrationPub to TWikiRegistration as described in the doc? You need to ask for the password in the form, that is what the "RegistrationPub" version does. Check the .htpasswd if the user entry is there after registration.

Note that users can't register twice. You need to remove or rename existing user topics that have been created without a password before you can register again with the password.

There are some issues with password generation on Windows. Check the TWikiOnWindows.
