[Moin-user] moin --start on windows? (1.8)

[John_Nowlan]

I'm trying to config daemonize moin on a windows box. I've been running
moin 1.5.3 on a unix box.

I can run standalone fine, but if I try:

Edit wikiserver.py:
sys.argv = ["moin.py", "server", "standalone", "--start"]

Then:
E:\moin\moin-1.8.0>e:\Python26\python wikiserver.py
2008-11-20 12:15:08,157 INFO MoinMoin.log:124 using logging

    if os.fork():   # launch child and...
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'fork'

Is this a bug? I do not see it listed at http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs

I get the same thing when I try:
E:\moin\wikis\add>e:\Python26\python moin --config-dir=e:\moin\wikis\add
server standalone --docs=e:\moin\moin-1.8.0\wiki\htdocs --start

Trying to run my own wiki instance.
I assume this is a bug but am not confident with the file copying/setup
I have done.
Anyone know of a work around to put moin in daemon mode on windows,
other than not use windows?

I wanted to run moin standalone behind apache.

Anyone running moin1.8 on windows using these other options that could
work for me?
Other options:
- Wsgi mode with apache?
- fcgi with apache
- iis (how do I authenticate? Can use 'built in' authentication w\iis?
Anyone doing ldap?)
