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:

<VirtualHost *>
   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]
</VirtualHost> 

Remove the following <IfModule mod_alias.c> directives added on 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
