You may have skipped a step in the docs HelpOnInstalling/ApacheOnUnix
1.2 and have not created a wiki instance, or have not correctly pointed
to it. Your ScriptAlias should be similar to:
  ScriptAlias /mywiki "/usr/local/share/moin/MYWIKI/moin.cgi/"
which would make the directories in the messages above similar to:
  /usr/local/share/moin/MYWIKI/data...
where MYWIKI is any name you want except "wiki".
