[Moin-user] new user - installation problems (with long test output)

Mon Jul 31 06:48:23 EDT 2006

Hi,

I think I followed the installation procedure to the point, however there
are two problems.

I have a Wiki instance called iSwiki - located below /var.
Python (2.4.3) and MoinMoin (1.5.4) are located below /usr/local.

I'm nearly done with the installation and I am about to test.

The first problem is a failure during action=test:

http://192.168.100.10/iSwiki?action=test

yields (I include the complete output for convenience - hope that's okay)

What about these errors? Critical, can be ignored, ...?

BTW, it takes really long to get the page - 8.7s. Is this normal?
Furthermore, I get the expected wiki page with http://192.168.100.10/iSwiki -
this too lasts very long.

The second problem is a call to
http://192.168.100.10/wiki

This yields:
---
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wiki/moin.cgi/ on this server.

A look into apaches error log shows:
[Mon Jul 31 12:00:50 2006] [error] [client 192.168.100.104]
   Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /usr/local/share/moin/htdocs/moin.cgi

(note the wrong path of moin.cgi - it looks below $SHARE - not below /var/iSwiki -
should index.html in /usr/local/share/moin/htdocs be edited?)

One last note - the installation tutorial is quite fine. One hint that could be added
to the pythontest.cgi comments is to check the $PATH that the apache server is running
with - in my case /usr/local/bin wasn't included in the PATH= line in /etc/init.d/apache.

Best regards
