[ale] wiki recommendations?

[Jim Popovitch]

Hi Pete,

Are you really sure that you need mod_python?  I run a Moin wiki site without using mod_python at all.

Here's some things to try:

- in <moin-var-directory>/cgi-bin/moin.cgi   check to make sure that your sys.path contains values
similar to these:

  sys.path.insert(0, '/var/moinmoin/')   <-- this is the directory where your wikiconfig.py file should exist
  sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/local/moinmoin/lib')

- in <moin-var-directory>/wikiconfig.py check to make sure that data_dir, data_underlay_dir are setup correctly.

Are you using the wiki as the 'root' website (instead of something like http://www.server.com/wiki/)?

Well, I can't seem to get mod_python to call the Moin stuff correctly
- I even tried backing out to Moin via CGI, and all I get are errors
calling Moin.

When I was deep into the pod_python attempt, I was getting a 'can't
find module' looking for a config file wikiconfig, claiming that it
had no '.py' suffix.  I did a find for anything 'wikiconfig*' and
found only wikiconfig.py files, so I'm guessing it was a default
value, but the only references Google could find were actual instances
of that error on a web page - people who had the same problem, but on
an externally visible site. :-<
