[Moin-user] setup problem

I got this fixed with the help of a local sysadmin. The solution may be of
interest to
others. I'd even recommend a note on this in the installation instructions.
The problem was that on both this server and another I had the same problem
on, though cgi scripts are run with the same userid, they are run with an
entirely different directory structure for security reasons. Thus all the
moin files that need to be accessed at run time must be in the designated
cgi file space.
Best,
Chris
