[Moin-user] data_dir permission problem

[Mike Fechner]

wwwrun is listed as the userid in the /etc/apache/uid.conf file and the apache processes also show this user is.

Here's the traceback:

data_underlay_dir "/var/moin/ExtremeDynamics/underlay/" does not exists, or has incorrect ownership or permissions.

Make sure the directory and the subdirectory pages are owned by the web server and are readable, writable and executable by the web server user and group.

It is recommended to use absolute paths and not relative paths. Check also the spelling of the directory name.

Strange. Maybe join us on IRC, #moin on irc.freenode.net to debug this.

We could remove the error handling in moin for that case and just look what happens. If there is some backtrace, we maybe would see the problem.

BTW, wwwrun is for sure the user your moin gets executed as?
