Yes.

You have to check whether it is using the correct configs.

Also, it is a good idea to run the "moin" command as same user as
usually is used to run the moin process. So, in case your wsgi process
is being run as www-data user, you maybe should also use that user to
run the moin command, just to avoid permission issues.

Debian (and likely also Ubuntu) by default put a farm configuration
into /etc/moin/.

If that is not the config you are using, you must make sure moin finds
the one you are using (using --config-dir=...).
