I just installed the new TWiki appliance behind a firewall at work. I need to turn off the email verification feature as I won't be able to access anything from behind the firewall.
I assume that this is done in the Configure section of the Admin Tools but when I select this, I am repeatedly prompted for Login/Pass. The AdminUser login works as a site login but I can't access Configure with it.
This is an out-of-the-box install with no customizations. Not much I can change if I can't access Configure.
Has anyone else run into this?

Misconfiguration in apache.conf
BTW, disabling email verification is specified here: I hope this solves your issue.
Yes! It IS the Apache config
Yes!
It IS the Apache config problem. After making the suggested change and restarting Apache, I could run TWiki Configure.
It gives two warnings - one for localhost and one for email root@localhost.
After updating both and saving the Conguration, it appears to work.
Thanks!
Thanks. Added to todo list
It's /etc/twiki/apache.conf

Thanks for catching the typo...
Struggling with same issue
Hi, Alon.
Really appreciate your taking the time and effort to reply.
I'm running the TKL TWiki (downloaded about 1 month) as a VM on VirtualBox. When I try to run the Configure thru TWiki, I'm told I have the wrong password. When I run it through a browser, it shows up as a text file (I've seen the posts on this cgi issue).
All would be just fine with your guidance from this posting, but I'm simply unable to locate the /etc/twiki/apache.conf file on the server.
I am certainly a relative novice. Would you kindly direct me to that file?
Thank you for your help!

I suspect that the appliance has changed.
This thread is really old so I suspect that the way the server is built now has changed. TBH I'm not sure where the conf file is but the best place to start looking IMO would be /var/www/twiki Actually you could use the find command to help you out:
Hopefully that will work...
