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: 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] Starting factory <MoinMoin.server.twistedmoin.MoinSite instance at 0x40a070ec> 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] Traceback (most recent call last): 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/bin/twistd", line 36, in ? 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] run() 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/scripts/twistd.py", line 184, in run 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] app.run(runApp, ServerOptions) 2004/12/2017:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/application/app.py", line 205, in run 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] runApp(config) 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/scripts/twistd.py", line 175, in runApp 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] startApplication(config, application) 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/scripts/twistd.py", line 160, in startApplication 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] shedPrivileges(config['euid'], process.uid, process.gid) 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/scripts/twistd.py", line 134, in shedPrivileges 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] switchUID(uid, gid, euid) 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/python/util.py", line 606, in switchUID 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] initgroups(uid, gid) 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] File "/home/stage3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/python/util.py", line 584, in initgroups 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] setgroups(l) 2004/12/20 17:05 CST [-] OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted I am merely experimenting and I would like to run without being root. Is it possible? Thanks, -Garrett Rolfs
