Post #33,232 by jlalexander 3/23/02 10:47:43 AM Reply	Re: Mail: SMTPMAILHOST Cool, well I ended up finding it at: [link\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiPreferences\|http://twiki.iwethe...iPreferences] Just FYI. Updated it, and registration now works. Only thing not taken care of is edit auth. Right now, it's wide open. I started through the auth steps, but it no worky. I must've missed a step. I setup the .htaccess file, moved the registrationpub page to the registration page. Still no worky. So, I'm not sure what's up. But, it's functional, at least. -Jason ---- My pid is Inigo Montoya.

Post #33,277 by kmself 3/24/02 4:03:49 AM Reply	.htaccess I took us a while to get things all kopacetic at work, part of the issue being authentication on the TWiki, but part also being closing down external read accesss. My co-admin was beefing over TWiki's realiasing various directories as bletcherous. He finally worked something out but I haven't looked over it enough to know 'zactly what he did. I'm still getting the installation page and no main twiki when I go to the site. Or are you not set up yet? `-- Karsten M.

Post #33,283 by jlalexander 3/24/02 12:58:54 PM Reply	Re: .htaccess Yeah, she's rolling at: [link\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view\|http://twiki.iwethe...iki/bin/view] What did you guys do with the main page? Just put a redirect there? Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with the auth. Like I said, I read through the instructions, followed them to the tee (at least I believe I did), and still no auth. So, I'm at a bit of a loss atm. -Jason ---- My pid is Inigo Montoya. You "killed -9" my parent process. Prepare to vi.
Post #33,304 by kmself 3/24/02 8:07:17 PM Reply	Main page ...er, RTFM, IIRC. I think it should point to the Web Main Page thingie, though. We created a static HTML file (for a "pretty" entry point) and left it in $TWIKIROOT as index.html, though you might try a symlink or a redirect to the appropriate top level file. Trying to remember if the docs cover this or not. Read the directions for "Enabling Authentication of Users". Have you added "AllowOverride All" to the appropriate Directory section? I think I had to walk through this a couple of times, but I got it working as expected. `-- Karsten M.

Post #33,329 by kmself 3/25/02 3:13:09 AM Reply	OK, some config issues Watch the $TWIKIROOT/lib/TWiki.cfg file, as well as your VirtualHost configuration in `httpd.conf`. Both are pretty twitchy. A few things I'm seeing. The front page, [link\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/\|[link\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/]], has a link, "Get started", that points to `[link\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/bin/view/Main/WebHome\|ttp://twiki.iwethey.org/bin/view/Main/WebHome]`, when it really wants to point to `[link\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome"\|[link\|http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome\|http://twiki.iwethe...Main/WebHome]]`. Looks to me as if you've got an extra '/twiki' in the actual url, which tells me you've probably misconfigured the VirtualHost in `httpd.conf`. After setting the value appropriate, restart the webserver ;-) If not there, then walk through TWiki.cfg and make sure you've got the appropriate values in there. Changes take place immediately, there's no need to restart anything, so playing with values is pretty easy. Some of the paths are filesystem relative, some are server (virtualhost) relative, and the distinction isn't always clear. If you've enabled authentication (and it appears you have), then take a look at this KB entry at TWiki.org: [link\|http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/WhereIsTheLoginPage\|[link\|http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/WhereIsTheLoginPage\|http://twiki.org/cg...TheLoginPage]]. Note the `AllowOverride All` directive (httpd.conf) and renaming of "TWikiRegistrationPub" to "TWikiRegistration". `-- Karsten M.

Post #33,339 by drewk 3/25/02 9:23:12 AM Reply	Now how do you log in? I registered and was logged in. Closed the browser, came back, can't find a way to log in. I'm in as the WelcomeGuest user, and can't seem to change that. Also, while in as the WelcomeGuest user, I was able to change the properties of my user account to make it read-only. Odd, but I guess it works out OK considering how everything else works. (Well, it would be OK if I could log in as myself.) === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.

Post #33,381 by kmself 3/25/02 1:38:37 PM Reply	That would be the donut Jason's got to work out his config stuff. For shits'n'grins, I D/L'd and installed TWiki on my laptop. Got auth up and running properly. So if all y'alls want to chase my dynamic IP around its 56K dialup range.... Barring that, Jason and I could swap configs and take notes. `-- Karsten M.

Post #33,382 by drewk 3/25/02 1:50:55 PM Reply	Well then, once we get the jelly filling in there ... This looks one of those things that's just so useful that once I become accustomed to it I'll hate trying to use anything else.[1] I generally don't like systems that try to completely wrap HTML in their own way of doing things, but this is so comprehensive that it seems to be what HTML was originally intended for. Like this is the first good HTML authoring tool. [1] Like VI. (No VI/Emacs wars, please, I'm comparing it to a typical WYSIWIG editor.) When I switched back to a Windows system, I decided to give it a couple of weeks to re-qccquaint myself with WYSIWIG-style editing. I just can't do it. A couple of months later, I still find myself trying various keyboard shortcuts that don't exist here. === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.

I actually installed a version of VIM on this box, but I just couldn't get it configured quite the way I liked. And nearly right is worse than completely different IMO. If I don't get that Linux box on my desk soon, I'm going to have to take another crack at it. === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.
