Package: twiki
Version: 1:4.1.2-5
Severity: normal

I may be missing something obvious, but having just installed twiki I
am unable to start the configuration process.  The README.Debian
suggests following the installation instructions from
http://localhost/cgi-bin/twiki/view/TWiki/TWikiInstallationGuide#Next_Steps
and that recommends (under "Enable Authentication of Users") accessing
the configure panel.

Looking earlier in the instructions, it says "Run the configure script
from your browser (i.e. enter
http://yourdomain/twiki/bin/configure...) ".  I accepted all the
defaults on installation and am logged in as the admin user.

Using localhost where the instructions say yourdomain, I get a 404
error.  I tried several variants, with the same results.

I notice this line is commented out in /etc/twiki/apache.conf:
#ScriptAlias /twiki/bin "/var/lib/twiki/bin"
Should that be enabled?  Is this a security precaution?

When I uncomment the ScriptAlias I am able to access the configuration
using http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure.
