Questions[moinmoin](server)

I just set up uWSGI and nginx (with the uWSGI module) and would like to get MoinMoin set up. I'm running uWSGI with MoinMoin with the command below:

/usr/bin/uwsgi -s moin.sock --wsgi-file wiki/server/moin.wsgi -M -p 4

In nginx, I have it set up like this:

location / {
   uwsgi_pass unix:///mnt/moin/moin.sock;
   include uwsgi_params;
}

If I wanted MoinMoin to run on the root of my server, this would work fine, but I want my MoinMoin to run on /wiki rather than /. I changed my nginx config to reflect this:

location /wiki {
   uwsgi_pass unix:///mnt/moin/moin.sock;
   include uwsgi_params;
}

After restarting both server, the links in MoinMoin still want to go to /PageName rather than /wiki/PageName. I would think I would have to specify a setting in MoinMoin. I saw there is a url_prefix_static option for wikiconfig.py, but am not sure if that is deprecated or if there is a better way of doing this.

I installed MoinMoin on Ubuntu 11.04 using the instructions in http://moinmo.in/HowTo/UbuntuQuick, including the (first two) bullets for Ubuntu 10.10 in the Suggestions section at the bottom.

Apache and MoinMoin are running on a machine at my employer with the hostname "daryls". (Only visible behind the firewall, of course.) So http://daryls/ goes to MyStartingPage.

When I click on HelpOnEditing and HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax while editing a page, I get a blank page. HelpContents (when I click on the HelpContents tab) is also blank.

I found a question in MoinMoin's documentation where a similar problem to mine is described. But clicking on HelpOnEditing goes to http://daryls/HelpOnEditing, HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax to http://daryls/HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax and HelpContents goes to http://daryls/HelpContents. (I don't have the extra "/instance_name/" in the URL as they describe.) But just to be sure, I cleared the contents of /usr/share/moin/data/cache, which made no difference.

I too wonder (like "twm" in the question) whether this is a configuration error. Do I need to tell MoinMoin or Apache that the domain name of the server is "daryls"?

I am trying to set up a MoinMoin Wiki install on our nginx/uWSGI server using a sub-directory.

We already have a Django app running on :80. Initially I setup the Moin app with it's own server block running on :8000. This worked perfectly, however, what we want is to run MoinMoin under /wiki.

The problem is that when I try to do so, MoinMoin still assumes that is it's root, such that it thinks /wiki is a page named wiki. All the links are also relative to so clicking them fails because nginx doesn't see a location for /FrontPage etc.

I have looked, but cannot find any obvious method of configuring MoinMoin to use /wiki. This is what I need, either that or some way to map /wiki to :8000

Here is the http section of our nginx.conf file (NB: paths replaced with /path/to prefix)

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for" t=$request_time';

    access_log  logs/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        #charset koi8-r;

        #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

        location /media {
            alias /path/to/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/;
        }

        location /static {
            alias           /path/to/static/;
        }

        location /tmp/reports {
        internal;
        alias   /tmp/reports;
        }

        location / {
            include        uwsgi_params;
            uwsgi_pass     127.0.0.1:9001;
        }

        location /wiki/moin_static193 {
            alias /path/to/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MoinMoin/web/static/htdocs;
        }

        location /wiki {
            uwsgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9002;
            include     wiki_params;
        }
    }
}

And here is the, mostly unedited, wikiconfig.py file:

import os

from MoinMoin.config import multiconfig, url_prefix_static


class Config(multiconfig.DefaultConfig):

# Critical setup  ---------------------------------------------------

# Directory containing THIS wikiconfig:
wikiconfig_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# We assume that this config file is located in the instance directory, like:
# instance_dir/
#              wikiconfig.py
#              data/
#              underlay/
# If that's not true, feel free to just set instance_dir to the real path
# where data/ and underlay/ is located:
#instance_dir = '/where/ever/your/instance/is'
instance_dir = wikiconfig_dir

# Where your own wiki pages are (make regular backups of this directory):
data_dir = os.path.join(instance_dir, 'data', '') # path with trailing /

# Where system and help pages are (you may exclude this from backup):
data_underlay_dir = os.path.join(instance_dir, 'underlay', '') # path with trailing /

# The URL prefix we use to access the static stuff (img, css, js).
# Note: moin runs a static file server at url_prefix_static path (relative
# to the script url).
# If you run your wiki script at the root of your site (/), just do NOT
# use this setting and it will automatically work.
# If you run your wiki script at /mywiki, you need to use this:
url_prefix_static = '/wiki' + url_prefix_static


# Wiki identity ----------------------------------------------------

# Site name, used by default for wiki name-logo [Unicode]
sitename = u'Our Wiki'

# Wiki logo. You can use an image, text or both. [Unicode]
# For no logo or text, use '' - the default is to show the sitename.
# See also url_prefix setting below!
logo_string = u'<img src="%s/common/moinmoin.png" alt="MoinMoin Logo">' % url_prefix_static

# name of entry page / front page [Unicode], choose one of those:

# a) if most wiki content is in a single language
#page_front_page = u"MyStartingPage"

# b) if wiki content is maintained in many languages
#page_front_page = u"FrontPage"

# The interwiki name used in interwiki links

# nice for farm setups or when your logo does not show the wiki's name.

# Security ----------------------------------------------------------

# This is checked by some rather critical and potentially harmful actions,
# like despam or PackageInstaller action:

# your user name. See HelpOnAccessControlLists for more help.
# All acl_rights_xxx options must use unicode [Unicode]
acl_rights_before = u"UserName:read,write,delete,revert,admin"

# The default (ENABLED) password_checker will keep users from choosing too
# short or too easy passwords. If you don't like this and your site has
# rather low security requirements, feel free to DISABLE the checker by:
#password_checker = None # None means "don't do any password strength checks"

# Needs a reliable internet connection.

# User interface ----------------------------------------------------

# Add your wikis important pages at the end. It is not recommended to
# remove the default links.  Leave room for user links - don't use
# more than 6 short items.
# You MUST use Unicode strings here, but you need not use localized
# page names for system and help pages, those will be used automatically
# according to the user selected language. [Unicode]
