Wiki Deployment Notes

The Internet accessible Wikis are:

1. Instances of the MoinMoin wiki software

   1. MoinMoin is implemented in Python

   2. Version 1.6.1 is installed on lu.softxs.ch
2. All wikis run in a vitual host wiki.softxs.ch
   1. You need to add a some configuration information to httpd.conf each time you add a new wiki

Deployment of MoinMoin 1.6.1 on lu.softxs.ch

Had to modify the createinstance'sh script:

• vi createinstance.sh
  
  # Change the following in the script:
  
  Change
  #!/bin/bash
  To
  #!/usr/local/bin/bash
  
  #Change
  SHARE=/usr/share/moin
  #To
  SHARE=/usr/local/share/moin
  
  USER=www
  GROUP=www
  
  # Change
  chown -R $USER.$GROUP $INSTANCE
  # To
  chown -R ${USER}:${GROUP} $INSTANCE
  :x

Deployment of the Wiki Instance for MET

On lu.softxs.ch as user root

• cd /home/wiki/www/html
  
  
  

Update the Apache config

• vi /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
  
  # In the vitrual host section for wiki.softxs.ch add the following:
  
    ScriptAlias /met     /home/wiki/www/html/met/cgi-bin/moin.cgi
  
  # Add a new directory for the wiki:
  
  <Directory /home/wiki/www/html/met/cgi-bin>
    Options None
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

Restart apache

Configuration htaccess based access password protection:

• cat <<__END__
  AuthUserFile /home/wiki/www/html/met/.htpassword
  AuthGroupFile /dev/null
  AuthName "SoftXS GmbH - Matrics Experts Team Project Wiki"
  AuthType Basic
  
  <Limit GET POST>
    require valid-user
  </Limit>
  __END__
  
  touch .htpassword
  htpasswd .htpassword met

Notes and Ideas

1. There is a FreBSD port: p5-HTML-WikiConverter-MoinMoin, which claims to be able to convert HTML into MoinMoin markup.
