I will soon be helping to administer a moinmoin wiki that has several
levels of access (one public, and then several levels of passworded
access). Being a novice, I decided to try setting up a moinmoin wiki
on my mac laptop, one which eventually will probably remain as little
more than a PIM, but may also serve as a staging area for wiki pages
that I'll place on a , w(different) server for students in courses I
teach.
I was going to go with a "desktop" wiki, which I was able to get setup
using moinmoin 1.9.3 following the Quickstart instructions, but wasn't
happy with that as it did not come with any built-in help pages or the
like. I'm sure there is a way to fix that, but I was/am in the the
mode of looking for the easiest set of instructions to get going.
What I happened on next were the instructions at
http://www.pantz.org/software/moinmoin/setup_moinmoin_wiki.html
which I am trying to adapt to my situation. The sticking point for
me, I think, seems to be how to set up things so that I can access my
local wiki through a browser. When I had the desktop wiki set up
before, I accessed it via
http://localhost:8080
The instructions above provide an example where one adds a moinmoin
unix user/group (I did not, as I will be the only one accessing the
wiki on my local machine, and I placed the wiki files in a directory
within my home space), changing the port to 80 (I didn't do that
either), giving a specific ip address for the interface (again, I did
not), placing two lines in the wikis = [ ] area of farmconfig.py
("wiki1", r"^wiki1.yourserver.org/.*$"),
("wiki1", r"^wiki1/.*$"),
---what I wrote, instead, are these lines
("personal", r"^personal.localhost/.*$"),
("personal", r"^personal/.*$"),
---and then adding lines
wiki.yourserver.org. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.245
wiki1 86400 IN CNAME wiki
to /etc/hosts---I, instead, added
wiki.localhost. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.245
personal 86400 IN CNAME wiki
Obviously, I do not know quite what I am doing, and it is not
surprising that, after running the moin.py script, I cannot come up
with url that allows my browser to access this personal wiki. Can
anyone get me through this?
Also, I expected to be able to search the moin-user archives using a
keyword. Is that possible? The archive, which I am getting to via http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=moin-user
, has a rather awkward setup in my browser: You have to scroll past
the years/months to get to a list of topics, and all that is repeated
if you click on a topic.
Thanks.
