Note: These installation notes assume user nobody for all files manupulated by the cgi scripts (executed by the web server), and user twiki for all other files. You need to replace user nobody with an other user in case the web server executes the script with a different user ( default for Debian is www-data ). Also, you can substitute user twiki with your own user name. |

- Create directory
/home/httpd/twiki and unzip the TWiki distribution to this directory.
- The
twiki/bin directory of TWiki must be set as a cgi-bin directory. Add /home/httpd/twiki/bin to /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf with only ExecCGI option.
- The
twiki/pub directory of TWiki must be set so that it is visible as a URL. Add /home/httpd/twiki/pub to /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf with normal access options (copy from /home/httpd/html).
- Now add
Alias for /twiki/pub and ScriptAlias for /twiki/bin to /etc/httpd/conf/srm-conf .
- Restart Apache by
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S85httpd restart .

- Make sure PERL and the PERL CGI library is installed on your system. Default location of PERL executable is
/usr/bin/perl . In case PERL is installed in a different location, the first line of all perl scripts in the twiki/bin directory need to be changed (alternatively you can create a symbolic link from /usr/bin/perl ).
|
| |
- Test if the
twiki/bin directory is cgi-enabled:
- Enter the URL of that directory into your browser (
http://your.domain.com/twiki/bin ). It is not set correctly as cgi-bin in case you get something like "Index of /twiki/bin" . It is OK if you get a message like "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access /twiki/bin/ on this server."
- Execute the
testenv script from your browser ( http://your.domain.com/twiki/bin/testenv ). It should show a table of all CGI environment variables.

- On systems where the Perl scripts require a file extension you need to:
- Rename all scripts in the
twiki/bin directory to have a file extension, i.e. rename view to view.cgi .
- Specify this file extension in the
$scriptSuffix variable in twiki/bin/wikicfg.pm .
|
| |
- To be able to edit the perl scripts and .tmpl files it is necessary to
chown and chgrp -R twiki so all the files have the owner you want.
- The scripts execute as
nobody . Set the file permission of all Perl scripts in the twiki/bin directory as executable to -rw-r-xr-x .
- Set the file permission of all files below
twiki/data to 666 ( -rw-rw-rw- ).
|
| |
- Set the file permission of the
twiki/pub directory to 777 ( drwxrwxrwx ).
- Edit the file
twiki/bin/wikicfg.pm and set the variables at the beginning of the file to your needs.
- Make sure RCS is installed. In case RCS is not in the
path environment variable, add it to path . Alternatively, add the full path name to the rcs, ci, co, rlog, rcsdiff commands in the variables of twiki/bin/wikicfg.pm .

- Point your browser at
http://your.domain.com/twiki/bin/view and start wiki-ing away!
|
| |
- Note in case cgi user is not
nobody : The *,v RCS repository files delivered with the installation package are locked by user nobody . In case the user is different (e.g. www-data ), it is not possible to check in files, this has the effect that the topic version number does not increase when saving a topic. In this case you need to unlock all repository files and lock them as user www-data , or simply delete all the repository files.
- Security issue: Directories
twiki/data , twiki/templates and all its subdirectories should be set so that they are not visible as a URL. (Alternatively, move the directries to a place where they are not visible, and change the variables in twiki/bin/wikicfg.pm accordingly)
