RE: don't understand moniwiki packaging
Hi Monique (or is it moinique ;-) )
As far as symlinking to /var/www, I think the intent was to use apache's
conf files to alias the directory in /var/local/lib to a url, like this:
ScriptAlias /somewiki "/var/local/lib/somewiki/moin.cgi"
So that http://somehost/somewiki
Will direct to /var/local/lib/somewiki/moin.cgi
I'm not much of a scripter, but I use this to make a new moin wiki and
update apache2's config file with one command.
-------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
export MYWIKI=$1
mkdir /var/local/lib/$MYWIKI
cp -r /usr/share/moin/data /usr/share/moin/cgi-bin/* /var/local/lib/$MYWIKI
chown -R www-data: /var/local/lib/$MYWIKI
chmod +x /var/local/lib/$MYWIKI/moin.cgi
# TO ADD TO HTTPD.CONF
# Alias /wiki/ "/usr/share/moin/htdocs/"
# ScriptAlias /MyDebianWiki
"/var/local/lib/mydebianwiki/moin.cgi"
sed '/--EndMoinMoin/ i\ScriptAlias /'$MYWIKI'
"/var/local/lib/'$MYWIKI'/moin.c
gi"' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf > ./apache2.conf.tmp
cp ./apache2.conf.tmp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
#rm ./apache2.conf.tmp
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
---------------------------------------------------
The result is something like this at the bottom of your apache2.conf file
---------------------------------------------------
#Glenn's MOINMOIN wikis
Alias /wiki/ "/usr/share/moin/htdocs/"
# List wiki script aliases here
# --StartMoinMoinScriptAliases--
ScriptAlias /projectorwiki "/var/local/lib/projectorwiki/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /bloogoowiki "/var/local/lib/bloogoowiki/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /cenWiki "/var/local/lib/cenWiki/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /OOMeetsRDBMS "/var/local/lib/OOMeetsRDBMS/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /CommonUiFxWiki "/var/local/lib/CommonUiFxWiki/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /SiteCartWiki "/var/local/lib/SiteCartWiki/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /PHPFw "/var/local/lib/PHPFw/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /MSACCESSFw "/var/local/lib/MSACCESSFw/moin.cgi"
ScriptAlias /HowTo "/var/local/lib/HowTo/moin.cgi"
# --EndMoinMoinScriptAliases--
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm guessing apache 1.3.x would use a similar approach. I don't know that
this is good or bad, but it gives an alternative to symlinks in /var/www
All is explained in /usr/share/doc/moin/README.Debian
Hope this is something like you were looking for

Subject: don't understand moniwiki packaging
In the process of looking for a wiki implementation with minimal
dependencies, I found moniwiki. I'm pretty happy with it; enough so that
I've
set it up for my team at work, hoping it will catch on.
I don't understand the packaging, though. I'm hoping someone can enlighten
me.
The debian package puts all of the files in /usr/share/moniwiki ... which
seems weird, as all of the files would need to be in some web-accessible
place
to work. I can't find any installation notes indicating what I should do
with
these files. I suppose I could copy the whole directory, but that seems to
defeat the whole point of a package, since I would then have to manually
update any local installations. I can symlink it from /var/www, but that
just
seems weird ...
I've tried both of these approaches, and with both the images seem not to
work, though they work fine on the source install I have at the office ...
odd.
Anyone have any insight into why the package is installed this way, and how
I'm supposed to use it?
