[Moin-user] Install trouble: cannot edit pages

[Kotula, Jeff]

I've installed moin on my Windows XP box running ISS 5.1. The front page
shows up correctly and all seems well. The editing button brings up the
edit window, but when I hit the "Save Changes" button I get the
following error:

   42                 pass # let os.rename give us the error (if any)

   43     return os.rename(oldname, newname)

   44 

   45 

global os = <module 'os' from 'C:\Python23\lib\os.pyc'>, os.rename =

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied 
      __doc__ = 'OS system call failed.' 
      __getitem__ = <bound method OSError.__getitem__ of

      __init__ = <bound method OSError.__init__ of <exceptions.OSError

      __module__ = 'exceptions' 
      __str__ = <bound method OSError.__str__ of <exceptions.OSError

      args = (13, 'Permission denied') 
      errno = 13 
      filename = None 
      strerror = 'Permission denied' 

 

I have checked all the file permissions and they seem ok. The directory
permissions cannot be changed from read-only though; but I don't know if
this is innocuous windows-annoyance or the problem. I changed the wiki
virtual directory settings in ISS to enable both Read and Write, but no
change.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
