• Centos_5_3_Wiki

- Installing moin-1.8.5 on CentOS 5

It is nearly the same as "Development Wiki Installation" but: access home from httpd (apache), : - python version is: 2.4.3 - there is no error at runnig 'python setup.py install' - extra steps are needed to access home from httpd (apache) because od the

• context security system of SELinux

- Other user/group for Wiki instnce:

• export USER=apache; export GROUP=drawmgt

- Apache configuration directory is NOT /usr/local/etc/apache2

• cd /etc/httpd/conf vi httpd.conf

• In last line '/e/vol001' is unnecessary

- Bounce apache: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart - Path to wiki: http://localhost/dev/wiki

Details:

- Check python is working:

• python -V Python 2.4.3

- Create a wiki instance:

• Setup a wiki called 'wiki', located in /home/wiki

• Configuration variables:
  • export PREFIX=/usr/local export SHARE=${PREFIX}/share/moin export WIKILOCATION=/home/wiki export INSTANCE=wiki
    • # full path is ${WIKILOCATION}/${INSTANCE}
    export USER=apache export GROUP=drawmgt
  Setup as root:
  • cd /home mkdir wiki chmod go+w wiki cd $WIKILOCATION mkdir $INSTANCE # directory for this instance cp -R $SHARE/data $INSTANCE # template data directory cp -R $SHARE/underlay $INSTANCE # underlay data directory cp $SHARE/config/wikiconfig.py $INSTANCE # copy wiki cfg sample file

    chown -R $USER:$GROUP $INSTANCE chmod -R ug+rwX $INSTANCE # USER.GROUP may read and write chmod -R o-rwx $INSTANCE # everybody else is rejected

- Apache/Moin configuration (based on moin.cgi):

• cd $WIKILOCATION/$INSTANCE mkdir cgi-bin cp $SHARE/server/moin.cgi cgi-bin

  chown -R $USER:$GROUP cgi-bin chmod -R ug+rx cgi-bin chmod -R o-rwx cgi-bin vi cgi-bin/moin.cgi # Add the following lines (after the 'import sys' line) sys.path.insert(0,'/home/wiki/wiki') sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages') :x cd /etc/httpd/conf vi httpd.conf # -- Moin Moin V1.8.5 Test Wiki

  :x
