If your path to siawiki is C:\Python23\share\moin\siawiki, then you
skipped all the recommended steps under the heading "Creating a wiki
instance". The usual approach is to create a separate folder structure
away from the Python tree. 

So if you create a: C:\Moin\siawiki, siawiki will have a folder "data",
the "data" folder will contain folders for
backup,cache,pages,plugin,text, and user. The text folder will have
many files, the others few or none. 

Your error message says the folder structure ...siawiki\data\text\ does
not exist.
