[Moin-user] Pyton error while performing my first edit

[Mark Levison]

Thanks for the help Juergen.  This just gets more confusing.

Frontpage?test reported I didn't have write access to editlog -- that's 
because it didn't exist.

So I created it and I made all my DarwinWiki directories writable.

Now ?test reports:
MoinMoin CGI Diagnosis
======================

Package "MoinMoin" sucessfully imported.

Release  1.0
Revision 1.159

Checking directories...
    data directory tests OK (set to 'C:\Moin\DarwinWiki\data')
    text directory tests OK (set to 'C:\Moin\DarwinWiki\data\text')
    user directory tests OK (set to 'C:\Moin\DarwinWiki\data\user')
    backup directory tests OK (set to 'C:\Moin\DarwinWiki\data\backup')


Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:\Moin\DarwinWiki\moin.cgi", line 22, in ?
    cgimain.test()
   File "C:\Moin\Lib\site-packages\MoinMoin\cgimain.py", line 66, in test
    diff = util.popen(config.external_diff + " --version", "r")
WindowsError: [Errno 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe /c 
diff --version'

Which begs the question do I need a diff program (which one cygwin?) in my 
PATH? (This is not documented on the installs page)

But if I try edit the page I get the same permissions problem as before (see 
below for a fresh trace).

What to do next?

Thanks for the help so far
