Hi Rick, 

I checked the permissions. They seem to be set right. 

The old wiki used to live it "http://subdomainA.domain.com/mywiki". 

I want the new wiki to live in "http://subdomainB.domain.com". 

In order to do this I set up the default httpd configuration file under directory /etc/httpd/sites/ as follows: 

        Alias "/wiki/" "/usr/local/share/moin/htdocs/"
        ScriptAlias / "/Volumes/Clack/wiki/mywiki/moin.cgi"

The wiki is accessed via http://subdomainB.domain.com. This does not work. Only FrontPage shows successfully (which is explicitly set in the wikiconfig.py). Cannot access any other pages, although they do exist and permissions is set correctly. 

If I change the ScriptAlias to say: 

        ScriptAlias /mywiki "/Volumes/Clack/wiki/mywiki/moin.cgi"

and then access my wiki though http://subdomainB.domain.com/mywiki, everything seems to work fine. I can see and edit all pages. 

Any ideas how to set up the wiki so that I can access directly via subdomain. 

Thanks for your help.

Also, when I were migrate my wiki to a new server, this is what I do:
 - set up new server, configured and working the way I expect it should be (test to make sure you can create pages, etc).
 - Once everything is working, copy in the 'data' directory from the old server to the new.  Everything should just work.

I've performed this trick many-many times now.  For example, I have my 'live" server that everyone uses. But, if I want to play with the back-end, I duplicate it to a spare box or VMware (Mac: think Parallels) session.

Also, if you care, you can pretty easily upgrade Python to 2.5, which is faster than 2.3.  I have instructions here:

Sorry, did'nt send out system spec before:  

 Here is what I am running:

 [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)]

 Thanks.

 Hi,   

  I just moved our wiki to a new server. After installing the wiki to   the new server, I get the following message when I try to run the   ?action=test: 

  testBasicPackageThings   (MoinMoin._tests.test_packages.UnsafePackageTestcase) ... ERROR

  I am also not able to go to any subpages in the wiki. Only the   "FrontPage" is visible and the rest of the pages are not accessible. I believe   the only reason "FrontPage" shows up is because I have set it to show up   explicitly in my wiki_config.py file. If I click on any pages, it give me the   following error message: 

Not   Found
  The requested URL /FrontPage   was not found on this server.

  Additionally, a 404 Not Found   error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the   request.

  Any ideas what I might be doing wrong. Any recommendations? 

  Thanks. 

  Yusuf
