I have a wiki that I maintain on a standalone basis that needs to migrate into a wiki farm on our web server. Aside from the issue you already solved, there is another one: you have 2 user bases (one in your farm wiki, one in your standalone wiki). So if you just copy the data/pages from

Hi Shérab, I'm wondering what the fancy diff feature does. IIRC it is displaying 2 column html diffs (yellow/green) instead of a simple text diff (like on the console). I enabled it but the diffs I receive by e-mail when a page is changed are just the plain old diffs. IIRC, it is only on

Hi Chris, I used MoinMoin to build a website for my former research group at MIT, and it has worked well for them so far (http://juanesgroup.mit.edu). The servers are internal to MIT and we have limited control over them. Nicely themed moin 1.9.4. :) As it stands, the website has some

Did you use apache/mod-wsgi or cgi? cgi is slow. Our servers do not offer mod_wsgi, so I think we're currently using some sort of WSGI-- Fast CGI wrapper. Could this be a major cause of the problems? Well, I can't tell much about the layers below moin (esp. not for software I do not use

There are probably other areas of Moin that could benefit from Xapian-based indexing, but this certainly looks like a good application of it. Some notes: search / indexing = xapian is not a requirement for moin 1.9, but an option. thus, there is alternative code in moin (for

At least this behaviour is unexpected. Not quite. Windows filesystem lookups are case-insensitive, but it stores case. Search code often does case-insensitive matching to make searching easier (some search code even lowercases everything before putting it into the index, e.g. xapian). It

This is happening because the default python is 2.4. I ran setup with the path to 2.6 but apparently that wasn't enough. I installed functools for 2.4 but that didn't work, either. Ideas? For the moin 1.9.4 download you need at least python 2.5 (due to requirements of the bundled libraries

So, an uppercase letter is an indicator that the indexer should treat this as a word (until the next uppercase letter) as if there was white space. It would seem that hyphens and underscores have a similar effect. It's not just upper/lowercase transitions. IIRC, it also tries to split off
