[Moin-user] Trying to set up moinmoin on lighttpd

[Preben Randhol]

Hi

I'm trying again to setup moinmoin to run with fastcgi on lighttpd. I
have tried to follow the recipe of the moin installation pages, but I
cannot get it to work... 

I get: 500 - Internal Server Error

and in the lighttpd log I get:

2007-02-02 00:49:05: (log.c.75) server started 
2007-02-02 00:49:09: (mod_fastcgi.c.2533) FastCGI: header.type not
handled:  70 2007-02-02 00:49:09: (mod_fastcgi.c.2409) unexpected
end-of-file (perhaps the fastcgi process died): pid: 6584 socket:
tcp:127.0.0.1:2202 2007-02-02 00:49:09: (mod_fastcgi.c.3194) response
not received, request sent: 804 on socket: tcp:127.0.0.1:2202
for /ourwiki , closing connection 
===================================================================


The problem is that I try to follow the recipe, but it is so many
different recipes. Some for cgi some for fastcgi etc... So I don't know
what I'm doing wrong here. And how can I get some debug info from
moinmoin so I can better find out what is the problem?

When one use fastcgi do one need to alsi set up some aliases in
lighttpd? As I understand they apply for cgi?

Any help is much appreciated...

Thanks in advance

Preben

    MoinMoin - Configuration for a wiki farm

    If you run a single wiki only, you can keep the "wikis" list "as is"
    (it has a single rule mapping all requests to mywiki.py).

    Note that there are more config options than you'll find in
    the version of this file that is installed by default; see
    the module MoinMoin.multiconfig for a full list of names and their
    default values.

    Also, the URL http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnConfiguration has
    a list of config options.

# Wikis in your farm --------------------------------------------------

# If you run multiple wikis, you need this list of pairs (wikiname, url
# regular expression). moin processes that list and tries to match the
# regular expression against the URL of this request - until it matches.
# Then it loads the <wikiname>.py config for handling that request.

# Important:
#  * the left part is the wikiname enclosed in double quotes
#  * the left part must be a valid python module name, so better use
# only lower letters "a-z" and "_". Do not use blanks or "-" there!!!
#  * the right part is the url re, use r"..." for it
#  * the right part does NOT include "http://" nor "https://" at the
# beginning
#  * in the right part ".*" means "everything". Just "*" does not work
# like for filenames on the shell / commandline, you must use ".*" as
# it is a RE.
#  * in the right part, "^" means "beginning" and "$" means "end"

    # Standalone server needs the port e.g. localhost:8000
    # Twisted server can now use the port, too.

    ("ourwiki",  r".*"),   # this is ok for a single wiki

# Common configuration for all wikis

# Everything that should be configured the same way should go here,
# anything else that should be different should go to the single wiki's
# config.
# In that single wiki's config, we will use the class FarmConfig we
# define below as the base config settings and only override what's
# different.
#
# In exactly the same way, we first include MoinMoin's Config Defaults
# here - this is to get everything to sane defaults, so we need to
# change only what we like to have different:

from MoinMoin.multiconfig import DefaultConfig

# Now we subclass this DefaultConfig. This means that we inherit every
# setting from the DefaultConfig, except those we explicitely define
# different.

class FarmConfig(DefaultConfig):

    # Critical setup
---------------------------------------------------

    # all directories are accessible by the web server or moin server.

data_underlay_dir # to absolute paths.

    # backup it.

actions, # like despam or PackageInstaller action:
