Sounds so simple! :) >> I cannot find a config option to instruct MoinMoin that it is being >> served from a subdirectory of the site and to therefore operate under >> a URL prefix.

As it turns out, my attempting to find an option like this (configure the wiki software to know what path it is served from) is a habit formed from using various other software including at least one wiki engine which uses a setting like this: $wgScriptPath = "/wiki/work"; I guess what I missed is that it's not necessarily MoinMoin that needs to be told this, but the WSGI server hosting MoinMoin? >> Gunicorn is a WSGI server but as opposed to uwsgi it uses standard >> HTTP as a service protocol; I think this prevents one from passing >> environment settings (such as SCRIPT_NAME) as one would for e.g. FCGI >> or UWSGI, etc. However I notice that placing the following in my >> moin.wsgi seems to fix he path finding: >> >> os.environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '/wiki/home' > > Well, this should be presented to Moin by the Web server: that's what it is > for!

Stumbled into this FAQ entry: http://gunicorn-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-do-i-set-script-name The resulting configuration in Nginx's configuration that works for me: location /wiki/home { try_files $uri @wiki_home_rewrite; } location @wiki_home_rewrite { proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header SCRIPT_NAME /wiki/home; proxy_redirect off; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001; } Having SCRIPT_NAME sent literally as a request header is ...interesting, but seems to be what Gunicorn is expecting (if not set as an env var).
