[moin-user] Newbie Needs Help - Moin won't load full page [long post]

Fri Aug 31 11:05:57 EDT 2018

UPDATE - I switched OS from openbsd to freebsd and Moin works well. The
pages load fully and it is responsive. Same hardware and using the built-in
webserver.

When I add in authentication, each page loads in 10 seconds. Every time.

My next step is to use Apache2 and implement https.

Wish me luck.
