[Moin-user] moin configuration problem

Chris Haynes chaynes at indiana.edu

I can't be root on my apache server, but it runs simple scripts in
/var/www/cgi-bin
ok as my account username. /var/www/html is my web space, to which I
copied htdocs as /var/www/html/wiki. I can't modify the apache alias file
of course. The following is what I get when I run moin.cgi directly,
followed by additional details of my installation. Any help is much
appreciated. I'm a great python fan and it looks like moin is a very
well engineered wiki engine.

Best,
Chris

I used the following setup script:

export INSTANCE=uuwiki
export SHARE=/home/uubloomington/share/moin
export WIKILOCATION=$SHARE
export PREFIX=/home/uubloomington
cd $WIKILOCATION
mkdir $INSTANCE                   # make a directory for this instance
cp -R $SHARE/data $INSTANCE       # copy template data directory
cp -R $SHARE/underlay $INSTANCE   # copy underlay data directory
cp $SHARE/config/wikiconfig.py $INSTANCE   # copy wiki configuration sample
file
# chown -R $USER.$GROUP $INSTANCE   # check that USER and GROUP are correct
chmod -R ug+rwX $INSTANCE         # USER.GROUP may read and write
chmod -R o-rwx $INSTANCE          # everybody else is rejected
cp $SHARE/server/moin.cgi /var/www/cgi-bin
cp -R $SHARE/htdocs /var/www/html/wiki
chmod 755 /var/www/cgi-bin/moin.cgi

----------

I deleted farmconfig.py. wikiconfig.py follows

$ cat wikiconfig.py
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
# IMPORTANT! This encoding (charset) setting MUST be correct! If you live in
a
# western country and you don't know that you use utf-8, you probably want
to
# use iso-8859-1 (or some other iso charset). If you use utf-8 (a Unicode
# encoding) you MUST use: coding: utf-8
# That setting must match the encoding your editor uses when you modify the
# settings below. If it does not, special non-ASCII chars will be wrong.

    MoinMoin - Configuration for a single wiki

    If you run a single wiki only, you can omit the farmconfig.py config
    file and just use wikiconfig.py - it will be used for every request
    we get in that case.

    Note that there are more config options than you'll find in
    the version of this file that is installed by default; see
    the module MoinMoin.multiconfig for a full list of names and their
    default values.

    Also, the URL http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnConfiguration has
    a list of config options.
