I'm still having problems. I suspect it's in the httpd.conf.

Is that the config you redid? Where is the sample?

The 1.5 /docs/ has a migration readme, but it appears to be a rehash of
the 1.2 -> 1.3 process. I did that once (worked, amazingly).

Here is what I did here:

1. on a updated FC4 box running apache httpd-2.0.54-10.3 from the RH
rpm, I installed moin-1.5.1 as root from the tarball in /scm/moin. Under
this I moved (mv) my old 1.3 wiki directory trees from the old moin 1.3
image ... this may have been an unjustified leap of faith.

One of these for example is scm-wiki. These lines are in my
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file:

****
# Generic thing for MoinMoin
Alias /wiki/ "/scm/moin/share/moin/htdocs/"

# Aliases for other things, especially wiki instances

ScriptAlias /scm-wiki "/scm/moin/scm-wiki/cgi-bin/moin.cgi"
****

Now clicking on the link http://oz/scm-wiki/ gets a 500:

****

The server error log says:

As an experiment, I used the 1.3 script (again, a leap of faith, but I
couldn't find the corresponding 1.5 script) new-wiki.sh to make an
instance called xyz-wiki. 

I added this line to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

ScriptAlias /xyz-wiki "/scm/moin/xyz-wiki/cgi-bin/moin.cgi"

Accessing it through my browser gets a 404 -- different but not helpful.

There is no error log entry for xyz-wiki.

Let me note that DocumentRoot in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is /scm/www
and this has links in it to the wiki in lines like:

<br><a href="http://oz/scm-wiki/" target="newwindow">SCM Wiki</a>

<br><a href="http://oz/xyz-wiki/" target="newwindow">Xyz Wiki</a>

I may have messed up procedurally. Maybe I should have created wiki
instances by the same name and just moved over .../data.

I may have missed a config either in apache or in moin.

I would be very grateful for any help. It's close of business, but I can
vpn in from home and do some surgery if only I can get an idea of what
needs to be done.

Thanks in advance,
