[Moin-user] Wiki migration and synchronization

[Bob Jackson]

This issue pertains to Moinmoin 1.9.3.

I have a wiki that I maintain on a standalone basis that needs to migrate 
into a wiki farm on our web server.  This farm is supporting other wikis 
fine.  Both standalone and the web server environments are using version 
1.9.3.

I did the setup for this wiki in the farm environment and used rsync to 
transfer the data directory from the standalone location into the farm 
location.  The web server is also running 1.9.3.

As I now try to access pages on the web server, the browser reports the 
following for any existing page:

===================================
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was 
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root at localhost and inform them of 
the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may 
have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error 
log.
===================================

The server log reports:

Premature end of script headers: moin.wsgi

The wiki itself is functional.  For example, when I create a test page it 
displays a standard screen from which I am able to login and do the edits 
to create and save the test page.  Recent changes can be viewed, including 
the history of edits for pages created or modified in the standalone 
environment, but all of those pages produce the error described above when 
accessed.

I then discovered that I can search for any existing page by keyword and 
then display it.  If I make a tiny edit (such add a space somewhere) and 
save, it becomes viewable henceforth.

Can anyone explain what is happening here and how I might avoid having to 
search for and modify each page?  Is rsync an appropriate way to transfer 
the data directory?  Ultimately I would like to be able to continue to 
maintain sync'ed standalone and networked versions of this wiki.

Thanks.
