$/!\$ 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.

Install moin as normal.

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 FastCGI 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]
