then:-

tar zxvf moinmoin-1.5.x.tgz
cd moinmoin-1.5.x

It would help to pull up the official docs at this point at:-

http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnInstalling

The first stage of the install is called BasicInstallation.

Assuming your Python location is in your PATH, simply type:-

python -v setup.py --quiet install --record=install.log

This will install the relevant files into the home directory e.g. ~moinmoin

Then to test:-

> python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, May 29 2004, 17:05:23)
[GCC 3.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import MoinMoin
>>>

easy as pie! Moinmoin is now installed…unless you see errors in the above.

The next step is to create an instance of a wiki.

Like it says in the docs, choose a location to put your wiki’s, e.g:-

~moinmoin/share/moin

and create a directory named after your wiki e.g.:-

~moinmoin/share/moin/socket

Then copy the following dir’s into that dir:-

data
underlay
wikiconfig.py
and the contents of ‘htdocs’

This was the flaw in the docs. As far as I could see as there was no mention of this step and thus the wiki fails to load correctly.

There are a couple of tweaks required to wikiconfig.py, namely change the location of the ‘data’ and ‘underlay’ dirs from relevant to absolute.

Change permissions as follows:-

chmod –R 777 data
chmod –R 777 underlay
