[Moin-user] beginner questions

[Roger Haase]

Assuming you are here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=moin-user

Well,
 you would think you could just enter a search term and click the big 
green button... But no, you must first mouse over the "Mailing Lists" 
thingy and click on Search in the dropdown.

The form that comes 
up has its own problems -- it looks like you can select one of the two 
mailing lists to limit the search.  But if you do you will get 0 hits.

Thanks.  That got me where I wanted to go for initial setup.  Depending on how adept I become with this, I may want to setup wikis for my college students, and in that instance I'll want to go the route of a multi-wiki setup.  I don't yet know if I'll prefer developing my contribution to those pages locally on my machine and transferring them to a server, but probably not initially.  When it comes to course pages, I think I'll have to set up a multi-wiki MoinMoin on a server without having root privileges.
That brings me to my other as-yet unanswered question.  I presume others have asked questions about such a setup that will be relevant to me.  How does one search the moin-user archives using keywords?

Yes, it is supposed to be simple.  Part of the problem is you have to leave the page to complete the steps.

Once you have a login id, then you can use that ID in the superuser line.  For a personal desktop edition wiki, you add the superuser line to the ./wikiconfig.py file (as you have already done).

Restart the server and return to the LanguageSetup page.  Login with your superuser ID and proceed with the language setup.

I think the "desktop edition" is intended for a single wiki rather than a farm.  Maybe someone else can correct me or provide additional help.

I guess we have a different perspective of "complex setup".  It seemed to me that the route I was going was pretty simple, would provide me with the ability to do multiple wikis like I wanted, and was only a couple of tweaks away from being complete.
What I had done following the "Quickstart" instructions was pretty simple as far as it went, but the Languagesetup page has me quite baffled.
 - Where do I put the superuser line?	There's a line like this in wiki/config/wikiconfig.py, but it seems to	be purposefully absent from ./wikiconfig.py.  I added it there	anyway, but don't see how to give a password.
This is supposed to be simple, right?  I can't get this done to find out what comes next (language setup).
