Windows NT, 98 and ME all work fine with minor tweaks.The following Windows operating systems have been tested following the instructions given here: For more information, see TWiki:Codev.IssuesWithApache2dot0 and TWiki:Codev.IssuesWithPerl5dot8. Even though the Apache group says that Apache 2.0 is the best version, that's not true for TWiki at present. Similarly, Perl 5.8 may introduce issues due to its Unicode features and has caused problems due to a bug in CGI.pm.

Major version upgrades, such as Apache 2.0 and Perl 5.8, are very likely to cause problems - for example, Apache 2.0 is unable to authenticate users created by the current TWiki user registration script (due to a feature being removed in 2.0, see TWiki:Support.FailedAuthenticationWithApache2OnWinNT). More recent minor versions should be OK, but they can introduce bugs.

Cygwin also lets you install the Unix tools, Perl and RCS in a single step, saving quite a lot of time. In particular, Apache is the commonest choice for TWiki on Unix/Linux, Cygwin Perl is very close to Unix Perl, and the Cygwin RCS is regularly updated, with a recent TWiki-relevant bug fix in Feb 2002. Why this choice of packages? Because I've tried them, and they work well, without requiring a complicated setup. Simplest way to get a whole set of required toolsĬomes with Cygwin, don't use Perl 5.8.0 yetĬomes with Cygwin, includes a file corruption bugfix (check latest version at, but don't use Apache 2.0 yet) Windows-specific security holes fixed in this build This document covers installation of the TWiki 0 production release ( TWiki:Codev/TWikiRelease01Sep2004) in the following environment - if you want to use a different environment, feel free to use this as a guideline only.
