Got TWiki working on IIS6.0 under Windows Server 2003
At the weekend I had a go at installing TWiki running on IIS6 under windows server 2003. Eventually with my old Perl book in one hand and a mixture of these articles below I got it going…

I didnt use cygwin in the end I used the following…
ActiveState Perl 5.8
Windows Binaries of RCS (can be found on the GNU RCS site)
I wanted to authenticate users so I have used windows authentication which works fine but it does mean that users cant register themselves and then start using it without the user being added to windows box manually by the Administrator. If any one has any ideas how to get around this I would be most obliged.
The tool itself is great and one of the best wiki tools around, as it is very mature now.
If you want to ask me any questions, please do..

I came across this, Paul, and I figured I would post a comment. I have been wrestling with Mediawiki on Windows. I have it working, but my inability to get the authentication component working is driving me batty. I cannot get LDAP authentication to work, and I have little desire to populate the MySQL database Mediawiki is using.
I looked at Twiki, but it seemed a bit daunting to install on Windows Server 2k3/IIS. As for your user authentication issue, I think this could/should work with it setup in an AD domain.
I would love to give this a pass. Getting this to work is driving me crazy. 😉
thanx.
