I fear I'm missing something basic and overlooked something already documented. Hopefully someone will set me straight. I'm attempting to play with MoinMoin using twisted as the webserver. I'm running on linux using python 2.3.4 and twisted 1.3.0 as a nonroot user. When I attempt to start MoinMoin, I see the following in the log: [snip]
Your logged in shell is running with more permissions than your system is configured to allow you to have. Perhaps someone recently edited your /etc/groups file or something similar. Logging all the way out and back in should give you an environment in which twistd will start up for you. If you ran across this without passing uid= or gid= to Application(), this is probably a twistd bug. If you didn't, it's just an undesirable deployment complication with bad error reporting. Both should be fixed, of course :) Jp
