Lee,
I have no idea if you've received any replies as this list replies
directly to the sender.
I run exactly the same configuration as you are trying to get going.
Issue A - I don't understand what you're saying here.
Issue B - you need a new line in Moin.py - "sys.path.insert(0,
r'c:\moin\lib\site-packages')"
Issue C - See B
Issue D - This is a reported bug, change that line to read "if os.name
== 'posix' and os.getuid() == 0:" so that the os check happens first.

Subject: [Moin-user] Sources of advice while setting up a moinmoin
I am in the process of installing moinmoin. As an initial attempt I am
installing it on my personal LAN as a standalone wiki. The specific
machine is running Windows 2000 and already has Python 2.4 installed at
C:\Python24. Here is what has transpired so far:
* following
http://wiki.python.org/moin/HelpOnInstalling/BasicInstallation
* downloaded the install file and unpacked it into
file:///D:\work\JOBS\2005Applications\OTI\wiki\moin-1.3.5
* needed to upgrade WinRAR before this was successful.
* command line install appears to have worked, install.log
contains 814 entries
* all entries installed under C:\moin
* predicted message about the search path did not appear
* added c:\moin to the python path
* No messages in response to import MoinMoin
* appears that the MoinMoin source code is located in
C:\moin\Lib\site-packages\MoinMoin\
* Note that the predicted python2.4 is missing
issue A
* appears that the templates are located in C:\moin\share\moin\
* appears that some scripts that help to use the MoinMoin shell
commands are located in C:\moin\Scripts
* following
http://wiki.python.org/moin/HelpOnInstalling/WikiInstanceCreation
* Not sure I found the 'dedicated pages' being referred to
* assuming this refers to the Installation scenarios section of
http://wiki.python.org/moin/HelpOnInstalling .
* for first instance will use the name of trial and be at
C:\moin\wikis\trial
*
* PREFIX=C:\moin
* SHARE=$PREFIX\share\moin
* WIKILOCATION=$PREFIX\wikis
* INSTANCE=trial
* copied the relevant files to C:\moin\wikis\trial
* permissions set so the directory is not shared, but everyone on
this machine has access. This is the windows default.
* editing wikiconfig.py
* changing line 36 sitename = u'Untitled Wiki' to sitename =
u'Trial Wiki'
* changing line 83 #acl_rights_before =
u"YourName:read,write,delete,revert,admin" to acl_rights_before =
u"lee:read,write,delete,revert,admin"
* see http://wiki.python.org/moin/HelpOnAccessControlLists
* changing line 96 mail_smarthost = "" to mail_smarthost =
"mail.storm.ca"
* looking up SMTP server: Outlook Express -> Tools -> Accounts:
pop.storm.ca -> properties: servers
* changing line 99 mail_from = "" to mail_from = "Wiki Trial"
* following
http://wiki.python.org/moin/HelpOnInstalling/StandaloneServer
* copied moin.py from C:\moin\share\moin\server to
C:\moin\wikis\trial
* editing moin.py
* changing line 15 sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/wikiconfig') to
sys.path.insert(0, 'C:/moin/wikis/trial')
* changing line 32 docs = '/usr/share/moin/htdocs' to docs =
'C:/moin/share/moin/htdocs'
* changing line 44 interface = 'localhost' to interface = ''
* changing line 49 ## logPath = 'moin.log' to logPath = 'moin.log'
* try running by double-clicking moin.py
* failed to find MoinMoin.server.standalone to import from
issue B
* moved MoinMoin from C:\moin\Lib\site-packages to
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages
* try running by running moin.py from cmd window
issue C
* File "C:\moin\Lib\site-packages\MoinMoin\server\standalone.py",
line 485, in run
* AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getuid'
* copied MoinMoin back so it appears as both
C:\moin\Lib\site-packages and C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages
* try running by running moin.py from cmd window and by doulble
clicking
* File "C:\moin\Lib\site-packages\MoinMoin\server\standalone.py",
line 485, in run
* if os.getuid() == 0 and os.name == 'posix':
issue D
* AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getuid'
I am left with several confusions:
A: I presume that if I had followed the instructions for downloading
Python, instead of already having it installed, I would have had the
default directory structure
B: given that c:\moin is in the pythonpath, why would python be unable
to find this file?
C: how is it the error is being reported in a file that does not exist
where it is being reported to be. Is this a bug? In Python or
MoinMoin?
D: getuid is only defined for UNIX systems apparently. How did I get to
be executing Unix code in a windows installation. Is this a MoinMoin
bug?
I hope someone can help de-confuse me on some or all of these issues!
