Subject: [Moin-devel] MoinMoin with Apache mod_rewrite
Message-ID: <20011215120840.A85125@dusty.upful.org>

Greetings,

I'm going to tell how I used mod_rewrite to shorten URL's
from:   http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/moin/moin/FrontPage
to:     http://www.example.com/FrontPage


Step 1.

I used this rewrite rule:
RewriteRule     ^/(.*)  /cgi-bin/moin/moin/$1    [PT]

Step 2.

I changed SCRIPT_NAME environmental variable in "moin_config.py"
as follows:

#v+
===================================================================
RCS file: RCS/moin_config.py,v
retrieving revision 1.1
diff -u -r1.1 moin_config.py
--- moin_config.py	2001/12/15 15:46:48	1.1
+++ moin_config.py	2001/12/15 16:50:21
@@ -6,7 +6,12 @@
 
     $Id: moin_config.py,v 1.1 2001/12/15 15:46:48 root Exp root $
 """
+
+import os
+
 __version__ = "$Revision: 1.1 $"[11:-2]
+
+os.environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] = ""
 
 # basic options
 data_dir = './data/'
#v-

As far as I could observe, SCRIPT_NAME is prepended to every internal link
by MoinMoin. This is how it's done.

And now the question to the developers and hackers: could I have broken
something (that I didn't notice yet) by unsetting SCRIPT_NAME variable?

Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Juergen,
  I am now subscribed to this list-

  Ok, this sounds interesting. I will get the CVS version and try it
out.

  Ok, I will also look at this too.

  XML export is cool, but I wanted a quick-and-dirty way to back up
the SeaPIG wiki. That's why I wrote that script that makes a tar.gz
file of the wiki text files. I plan to write some scripts that operate
on my home machine that will untar the backup files and import them
into CVS, so I can regenerate any page for any date, if it is lost. I
also want a script that can pull a copy of the wiki out of CVS for a
particular date.
  This method is not perfect, but it is pretty easy to implement, and
provides a pretty good safety net in case of accident- which I didn't
have before! 
  Once I have the CVS scripts working, I will look into XML export...

cheers
adam

ps. moin-devel folks, here is where you can see the backup.py script
that tar.gz's SeaPIG's wiki:

Then it's too dirty. ;)

You need to include data/text, data/user and data/pages to get a full 
backup of the current status of the wiki, without the backup pages 
(i.e. you still lose the history). For that, you also need "backup". 
And "editlog" to backup recent changes.

What you can always ignore is "cache".


Ciao, J?rgen

Juergen,
  Ok, forgot to include the data/user directory. For
production use we are using moin-0.10, I don't see the data/pages
directory anywhere... am I missing something? What is this for...?

> What you can always ignore is "cache".

  Yes.

cheers

0.11 only, and the place where pages will eventually end up.

Juergen,
  What pages- how is it different than the data/text directory... oh,
I should go look at the code! :-)
