does moin wiki need Apache 2?



Hi,

trying to install a wiki here, which had an excellent description with minor flaw in the Debian-readme:

quote*********
4) Add the following lines to /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

   Al 4) Add the following lines to /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

  Alias /wiki/ "/usr/share/moin/htdocs/"
  ScriptAlias /MyDebianWiki "/var/local/lib/mydebianwiki/cgi-bin/moin.cgi"

  and reload apache

5) Customize /var/local/lib/mydebianwiki/cgi-bin/moin_config.py
unquote*****************

i.e. the cgi-bin directory was skipped. The maintainer could just check and paste.
And it would be nice if it spells out around here how to restart Apache
(still remembered this OS with all those reboots, luckily :-).

Now my problem:

The website does not give a 404 error, but a

seems there, but upon startup Apache's errorlog complains about the cgi script.

quote apache's error.log ******************
[Wed Feb 18 13:22:43 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: /var/local/lib/05.150.001/cgi-bin/moin.cgi [Wed Feb 18 13:22:46 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico
unquote*****************

quote apache's access.log ******************
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Feb/2004:13:22:46 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 283 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux)" 127.0.0.1 - - [18/Feb/2004:13:23:07 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 - "http://dell/05.150.001"; "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux)"
unquote*****************

Now the .icon line I could have tried commenting out I guess, and there is indeed no favicon.ico.
But the premature end gives me a thought:
Does the moin-script perhaps expect Apache 2? I have Apache 1.3.29 on this sarge machine.
The dependencies of moin don't stipulate which Apache.

The moin version is 1.1cvs20031026-1(testing).

TWiki ran OK with Apache 1.3, but I looks abit heavy in learningcurve.
