[Moin-user] Problems configuring MoinMoin on Windows

The message says Apache doesn't have the authority to read or execute
moin.cgi.  

Which version of windows are you using?  Vista vs. XP, Home vs Pro, and
32 vs. 64 bit versions?  Is Apache set to run as a service?  If Vista,
you may have some luck by turning off UAC (User Account Control) for a
test.  The resolution to your problem is going to be dinking with the
permissions of the files and directories that Apache must access.

----------------

I'm running XP Media Center Edition, 32 bit.  Apache was set up as a
service.

I've been able to confirm that the problem is a general CGI issue, not
MoinMoin specific - since all attempts to run CGI scripts generate the same
response.  Thanks - now I'm able to search more broadly for solutions.

But there seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the Internet about
running Apache/CGI on Windows, so it is hard to figure out what will work
for my situation.  Some docs say that no permission configuration is needed.

I've made all the directories for Apache, Python, and MyWiki Read-Write.  I
added 'Allow Service to Interact with Desktop' to the Apache Service (logon
as Local System Account), and then later changed to Logon as User - user
with admin rights.  Still nothing changes.

All I wanted to do was to have an Intranet accessible Wiki system.  I'm
considering bringing a Linux box up instead of messing with Windows, but I'd
rather not add another system at this point.
