Note: Below installation steps 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. |

Installation steps: |
| |
- Restart Apache by
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S85httpd restart .
- 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 wit all CGI environment variables.

- Execute the
testenv script from your browser ( http://your.domain.com/twiki/bin/testenv ). It shows a table with all CGI environment variables and tests the settings in your twiki/bin/wikicfg.pm configuration file.
|
| |
- Make sure PERL 5 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 ).
- 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 -rwxr-xr-x .
