Administrators can tailor their TWiki installation with over 400 extensions available from TWiki.org.

Starting TWiki

To start TWiki follow these steps:

Add following line at end of /usr/internet/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: include "/usr/internet/twiki/bin/twiki.conf"

Restart appache server as follows: /sbin/init.d/httpd_public restart

On the web page type the url: http://machinename:80/twiki/bin/configure

Resolve any errors or warnings it tells you about

If your webserver can be accessed by more than one domain name make sure to add the additional alternative URLs to {PermittedRedirectHostUrls}

When you return to configure you now need to setup Mail and Proxies. Especially the {WebMasterEmail}, and {SMTP}{MAILHOST} must be defined to enable TWiki to send registration emails. Many ISPs have introduced authentication when sending emails to fight spam so you may also have to set {SMTP}{Username} and {SMTP}{Password}. If you do not want to enable mailing or want to enable it later you can uncheck {EnableEmail}.

Please refer to /usr/internet/twiki/INSTALL.html for more Installation Setup.

NOTE: When you run configure for the first time, you can only edit the s ection General Path Settings. Save these settings, and then return to configure to continue
