Windows and Moin (yes, the moin packages load).


I am trying to get MoinMoin working with WindowsXP Pro and IIS.

My moin.cgi looks like this now

import sys
sys.path.append('e:/apps/Python22/lib')
sys.path.append('E:/apps/moin/lib/site-packages')
import os

and the Moin library is loaded (I know thats the usual problem).

Now I get this particular error, and not being a python programmer, I 
have absolutely no clue on what to do next.  All help appreciated.

Another weirdness is that the URI

http://localhost/wiki/moin.cgi must be used;  IIS will not deliver the 
URI http://localhost/wiki/moin.cgi/.  The default document as described

Create pages automatically

I would like to create some wiki pages from a
database.

It is possible just to put the files in the text
directory? 

I would also like to known the naming rules for
filename.  I have saw names in Chinese were in
_eb_.... how are they constructed? Are there any
modules I can make use?

Rgs,

Kent Sin

Yes, with the right permissions...

Uhm, better consult the sources for that.

quoteFilename() in MoinMoin/wikiutil.py will do the job.

Re: Windows and Moin (yes, the moin packages load).

I gave up.  I was able to view a wiki, but not edit pages.

I am now trying apache on windows.  Its equally as frustrating.  The 
documentation on getting the default wiki working seems vague and 
perhaps incorrect.

loading http://localhost/wiki/ redirects to:

http://localhost/wiki/moin.cgi/

which displays the following in the browser:

  Not Found

The requested URL /wiki/moin.cgi/ was not found on this server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/2.0.43 Server at localhost Port 80

My apache config file looks like:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin Doug.Ransom <at> alumni.uvic.ca
    DocumentRoot  E:/apps/ApacheGroup/Apache2/htdocs
    Alias /wiki e:/apps/moin/share/moin/htdocs/
    ScriptAlias /wiki/ E:/apps/moin/share/moin/htdocs/
</VirtualHost>

and the batch file moin.bat stored in e:\apps\moin\share\moin

Accelerating CGI Scripts (was [Webware-discuss] re: LRWP Adapter for Xitami & WebKit)

Thank you thank you thank you for those pointers, Ian.  
I am forever in your debt. I created a new page on the mother wiki.

http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?PoundReverseProxy

with a link to and from 

http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?RunScriptAsDaemon

so that all of our 8-) favorite projects* can reference this place when
questions about load balancing and accelerating cgi scripts come up.

Read harder. The docs.

>    ScriptAlias /wiki/ E:/apps/moin/share/moin/htdocs/

QUOTE: "mywiki" is the name of your wiki instance, you might want to
chose a different name best fitting the intended use of this instance;
just don't name it simply "wiki", because that would result in problems
later on. 

Oh, you have problems? Doh!

The 2nd part of your ScriptAlias is also not according to docs and
won't work. The trailing slash is wrong in both aliases (you swapped
them).

So next time before you diss the docs several people have invested much
time into, read harder!

I have the /wiki/ alias trying to work around what I percieve is a
problem in the documentation.

I still find the docs confusing.  In particular,  they say exactly:

Alias /wiki/ "C:/Moin/share/moin/htdocs/"

Yes, to access the images, icons and css.

At first, you need only 1 wiki instance, so 1 ScriptAlias (as above) is OK.

You don't need to access index.html, you just can access 
http://localhost/mywiki

That's because there is no CGI in there.

That is only used internally by the wiki engine - NOT by you.
