Cannot get past Welcome to Foswiki page

I'm trying to install Foswiki 2.1.7 on FreeBSD 13.1-STABLE.

I used the ApacheConfigGenerator page to generate the configuration.

Access to static resources like ... works.

The dependency check works only showing optional Perl modules not installed ... sudo -u www tools/dependencies

I can access the Welcome page successfully ... http://mymachine/foswiki/

Unfortunately, all the links on the Welcome page say 404 Not Found

Running the view directly ... sudo -u www ./bin/view

Works successfully with four errors reading ...

WARNING - /usr/local/www/apache24/data/Foswiki-2.1.7/data/.htpasswd DOES NOT EXIST

... but outputs HTML successfully.

I can't see any errors in the Apache log ... /var/log/httpd-error.log

The Apache access log shows the 404s and the successful access of the static resource ...

Tested CGI on the server by using the default installed printenv script with the perl used for foswiki, works successfully.

There could be a few things causing this. Here's some things to check:

• Are the perl scripts in bin directory executable by the http user?
• Are you doing anything like shortening urls? If so, try disabling that until you have the un-shortened version working ok.
• Double check your ScriptAlias setting in the config file.
