## page was renamed from ApacheVoodoo ##master-page:Unknown-Page ##master-date:Unknown-Date #acl -All:write Default #format wiki #language en <> /!\ Voodoo is not for newbies! This page gives some nice but advanced tricks for a moin Apache setup. The directives on this page assume that you have knowledge about Apache configuration, newbies should stick to the basic setup. = Apache Root Wiki = /!\ This requires the Apache module "mod_rewrite" (which should be standard) An Apache root wiki is easy, but it has limitations. Since moin needs to access certain static files (images, css, etc.), it intercepts a part of the possible WikiName namespace. 1. Install moin as normal. 1. Add the following lines to your VirtualHost config: {{{ RewriteEngine On RewriteLogLevel 0 # Point to moin shared static files - DEPENDS ON MOIN VERSION! RewriteRule ^/moin_static160/(.*)$ /prefix/share/moin/htdocs/$1 [last] # Map everything else to moin cgi script RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/moin.cgi$1 [type=application/x-httpd-cgi] # Setting for FastCGI ##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/moin.fcg$1 [type=application/x-httpd-fcgi] }}} The RewriteRule for Fast''''''CGI here does not work for me: {{{ [Wed Jan 05 01:43:41 2005] [error] [client 10.0.0.1] File does not exist: /home/apache/moin/wiki/share/moin/pw/moin.fcg/RecentChanges, referer: http://moin.dahoam/StartSeite duplo:/home/danielt# ls /home/apache/moin/wiki/share/moin/pw/moin.fcg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root www 1088 Jan 4 23:35 /home/apache/moin/wiki/share/moin/pw/moin.fcg* }}} As a workaround I use this: {{{ RewriteRule ^/?(.*) /_Wikiscript_/moin.fcg/$1 RewriteRule ^/_Wikiscript_/(.*) /home/apache/moin/wiki/share/moin/pw/$1 [last] }}} = Root wiki on Mac OSX = /!\ This configuration intercepts all userfolder URLs like ''`http://127.0.0.1/~yourname/`'' and offers a blank wiki page instead, so these instructions are offered as an exercise only. There may be a way around this problem but I don't know what it is. Using the previous information on the moin OS X installation, you end up with a virtual host block like this: {{{ ServerName Gnarlodious Alias /moin_static160/ /usr/local/share/moin/htdocs/ ScriptAlias /mywiki /usr/local/share/moin/mywiki/moin.cgi RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/moin_static160/(.*)$ /usr/local/share/moin/htdocs/$1 [last] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /usr/local/share/moin/mywiki/moin.cgi$1 [type=application/x-httpd-cgi] }}} Remove the following `` directives added on [[HelpOnInstalling/ApacheOnMacOsx|this page]], as they are now redundant: {{{ Alias /moin_static160/ "/moinwiki/share/moin/htdocs/" ScriptAlias /mywiki "/moinwiki/share/moin/mywiki/moin.cgi" }}} Now restart Apache. You should be able to open a URL like http://127.0.0.1/HelpOnInstalling/ApacheOnMacOsx = Root wiki with mod python recipe = Using the above example, I got this working like this: 1. Install moin as usual and create instance 1. Use this config in httpd.conf {{{ NameVirtualHost 192.115.134.51:80 ServerName wiki.nirs.dyndns.org ServerAlias wiki # Rewrite urls RewriteEngine On RewriteLogLevel 0 # map static files to htdocs RewriteRule ^/moin_static160/(.*)$ /usr/share/moin/htdocs/$1 [last] # map everything else to server script RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /usr/share/moin/mywiki/moinmodpy.py$1 # These are copied from the default cgi-bin directory AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all # Modpy stuff AddHandler python-program .py # Add the path to the wiki directory, where moinmodpy.py and # wikiconfig.py are located. PythonPath "['/usr/share/moin/mywiki'] + sys.path" PythonHandler moinmodpy PythonDebug On }}} (!) It seems to be impossible to get a root modpy wiki without using the moinmodpy wrapper script.
