[Moin-user] setup problem

Sat Mar 5 08:58:00 EST 2005

I'm trying to install moinmoin on an apache server, where I can't be root
on my apache server, but it runs simple scripts in /var/www/cgi-bin
ok. Following, separated by ------------, are
- the tail of the error log
- the head of the output from running /var/www/cgi-bin/moin.py from a shell,
and 
- moin.py (same as moin.cgi except for the '## cth' lines. As you see, I've
printed 
Note that I've modified moin.py to print my userid and load path, both of
which contain my local site-packages directory, containing MoinMoin.

How can the script import MoinMoin.request when invoked from the shell, but
not by the server, when in both cases the userid is the same, so protection
shouldn't be the issue? The euid is the same as the uid when the server
runs the script, and the MoinMoin directory is world readable and its path
directories are all world executable.

Help is much appreciated.
