[Moin-user] problem with err_log

[Patrick K. O'Brien]

Moin can't find your data directory. Try running the diagnostics. Instead of
just running moin.cgi, add ?test to the end of the url, like this:

www.example.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi?test

You'll get back a web page in your browser similar to this, which shows you
the directories Moin expects to be able to find:
