[Moin-user] Permissions problem

[Andre Meyer]

Hi Gisbert

Not a stupid question at all, but it *is* executable (checked). Done using
the chown/chmod statements from the website (
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnInstalling/WikiInstanceCreation).

I have just run moin.cgi and it outputs the correct html to the console,
just not via Apache.

thanks
André
