Re: Correct value for "url_prefix" in "wikiconfig.py"

For CGI, it should # match your Apache Alias setting. url_prefix = '/home/sites/home/web' The value I have there right now is my system's DocumentRoot setting. the httpd.conf doesn't include an Alias directive, so I'm not quite sure what I should do here. DocumentRoot is a path on the local system; url_prefix is a path within the browser-accessible web space. For instance, if your wiki FrontPage is accessed as http://www.example.net/mywiki/FrontPage then url_prefix should be "/mywiki". No! don't listen to Fred, you may loose your wiki :-) url_prefix has nothing to do with your wiki name, and they should never be the same. url_prefix is the url prefix of moin static files (css and images). For example: http://yourdomain/wiki/modern/css/screen.css While your wiki url look like this: http://yourdomain/mywiki/pagename Back to the question, how do you set this value? Just leave this as is, "/wiki". This value is used by moin when it creates links to static files (If you look into the html source, you will find those urls). Now, what Apache is going to do with "http://yourdomain/wiki/modern/css/screen.css"? there is no "wiki" directory in your document root. Thats why you need the Alias configuration: Alias /wiki/ /usr/share/moin/htdocs/ This tell Apache that any url that starts with /wiki/, should be served from the path "/usr/share/moin/htdocs/". This path should be adapted to your installation.

Re: Confused about Apache config

Now, in my Apache setup I've got a section that looks like: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot <path to my doc root> This should NOT point to "/usr/local/share/moin/projects" - or all your sensitive data will be served by the web server. There is a big red warning about that in the installation docs. ServerName www.smurgle.net ServerAlias smurgle.net ErrorLog logs/smurgle.net-error_log CustomLog logs/smurgle.net-access_log common ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "<doc root>/cgi-bin" This is wrong, just remove this line. Alias /wiki/ "/usr/local/share/moin/htdocs/" ScriptAlias /projects "/usr/local/share/moin/projects/cgi-bin/moin.cgi" These two lines look correct. </VirtualHost> I'm not sure what the "Alias" line is doing for me. Look in my answer to Kenneth. If I'm wanting to access the Wiki at /projects, do I want the "Alias" line to reference "/projects"? NO! If I do that, I believe it will hide the Script Alias line. Or ScriptAlias will hide the Alias. In any case, it won't work.

trouble setting up wiki with MoinMoin 1.5.2

I'm having trouble setting up a wiki using MoinMoni version 1.5.2 and python 2.3. After installing and following the instructions to create a wiki instance in ~/public_html/mywiki, I keep getting ConfigurationError data_dir "/org/mywiki/data" does not exists, or has incorrect ownership or permissions. I have tried everything including setting the data_dir variable in wikiconfig.py to the absolute path of my data directory and making the data directory world readable/writable. What I find especially strange is that the configuration error seems to think that my data_dir is "/org/mywiki/data" but I never set it to that and when I grep /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MoinMoin for that string, it does not exist. Basically I believe that the wikiconfig.py file is not being read. I tried looking in the source code, but I couldn't find where it imports wikiconfig.py so I was unable to verify this. (By the way, I'm assuming that the wikiconfig.py file is supposed to be in the same directory as moin.cgi, but perhaps that is my error. I can't imagine where else wikiconfig.py should go, though...).

Re: trouble setting up wiki with MoinMoin 1.5.2

Thanks for the suggestion.  The problem was indeed that I had not set the path properly in moin.cgi.  When I added a sys.path.insert statement things worked properly.

To make it importable, you must add the path to the directory where it is located to sys.path. Look intomoin.cgi in the comments about setting the system path.Best Regards,Nir Soffer
