Moinmoin is a very good Wiki application without using a DB. It is very fast, with easy syntax and I recommend to use it as a quick knowledge base for home or SME usage.
This
guide is to install moinmoin on a Raspberry Pi and make it accessible
via Lighttpd (using fastcgi). It is assumed a virtual host is available
for this wiki (eg. http://wiki.example.com )
The
moinmoin program will be installed at /usr/local/moinmoin_engine while
the instance will be installed at another place (eg.
/usr/local/moinmoin_instance1. )
- Download the latest source (1.9.5 as of this moment) at http://moinmo.in
- extract the tar ball to a temp place (eg. /tmp)
- under the source path, run
python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local/moinmoin_engine
- mkdir the instance path
mkdir /usr/local/moinmoin_instance1
- copy the following directories from "engine" to "instance", and change the ownership to the lighttpd user:
cp -r /usr/local/moinmoin_engine/share/moin/data /usr/local/moinmoin_instance1 cp -r /usr/local/moinmoin_engine/share/moin/underlay /usr/local/moinmoin_instance1 cp /usr/local/moinmoin_engine/share/moin/config/wikiconfig.py /usr/local/moinmoin_instance1 cp /usr/local/moinmoin_engine/share/moin/server/moin.fcgi /usr/local/moinmoin_instance1 chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/local/moinmoin_instance1
- modify the moin.fcgi, locate the following lines:
# a1) Path of the directory where the MoinMoin code package is located. # Needed if you installed with --prefix=PREFIX or you didn't use setup.py. #sys.path.insert(0, 'PREFIX/lib/python2.3/site-packages') sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/local/moinmoin_engine/lib/python2.7/site-packages') # a2) Path of the directory where wikiconfig.py / farmconfig.py is located. # See wiki/config/... for some sample config files. #sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/wikiconfigdir') sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/local/moinmoin_instance1') ... ## this works around a bug in flup's CGI autodetection (as of flup 1.0.1): #os.environ['FCGI_FORCE_CGI'] = 'Y' # 'Y' for (slow) CGI, 'N' for FCGI os.environ['FCGI_FORCE_CGI'] = 'N' ... # Is fixing the script name needed? # Use None if your url looks like http://domain/wiki/moin.fcgi # Use '' if you use rewriting to run at http://domain/ # Use '/mywiki' if you use rewriting to run at http://domain/mywiki/ #fix_script_name = None # <-- adapt="adapt" as="as" class="anchor" here="here" id="line-24" needed="needed" span="span">
$HTTP["host"] =~ "wiki\.example\.com" {
fastcgi.server += ( "/" =>
((
"socket" => "/tmp/moin.socket",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 2,
"check-local" => "disable",
"bin-path" => "/usr/local/moinmoin_instance1/moin.fcgi",
"fix-root-scriptname" => "enable"
))
)
alias.url += ( "/moin_static195" => "/usr/local/moinmoin_engine/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MoinMoin/web/static/htdocs")
}

PS: So here is the wiki running on my Raspberry Pi: http://wiki.jessed121.us/ . You can walk around and feel it.
