No, it isn't. But it seems to contain same messages as the mailing list. But I didn't see your message before, so it doesn't seem to work bidirectionally. > We have been using MoinMoin for more than 3 years for our website and it > has been working nicely.

Look into the web server logs (e.g. apache's error log) if you find some Traceback from moin there. Or, if you don't, configure moin's logging to log to a separate file (see moin.wsgi or whatever adaptor script you used. there are sample logging configs in wiki/config/... in the download archive). > We are > running MoinMoin 1.9.3 and Python 2.4.3.

Maybe check whether your base system still gets security updates at least and whether you could upgrade to a newer release. > Also, is it possible that updating to a newer version of MoinMoin (and > Python) can fix the issues? Well, maybe. It depends on what causes these issues. But be warned: for recent moins you'll need a more recent python also. And nowadays, you should be running python 2.7 (or 2.6) anyway. > If so, then we would first like to test the > installation/working of new version(s).

You can install a new python as well as a new moin without causing any interferences if you do it right: you didn't say what your operating system is, so I am assuming you run some linux: python: look for new packages for your distribution. if there aren't any, you could compile e.g. python 2.7 on your own and do "make altinstall" (that doesn't overwrite the "python" binary, so your other stuff will continue to work). if you call "python" afterwards, you will still get the old one, if you call python2.7, you'll get the new one. moin: you can run moin "in place" without "installing" it (without using setup.py). just download, unpack and modify sys.path in the moin.wsgi script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
