== installing [[MoinMoin]] on OS X ==
An install report of a succesfull install on a powermac G4 running mac OS X 10.2.6.
In the examples you will see that the machine name is `pm142` and the administrator account is `giels`. The wiki site that is created is called `mgwiki`.

=== before you begin ===

* You should have activated the `root` user
* You must not be afraid to use the terminal ;)
* some practice with the pico editor might be useful as well

=== download ===

Download the source on the desktop: you should see a `moin-x.x.tar.gz` file.
Extract this file on the desktop with Stuffit. You will get a folder `moin-x.x`.

=== install ===

All code examples are taken form a terminal session.

First check everything:

<pre><nowiki>

</nowiki></pre>

the real install:

<pre><nowiki>
[pm142:giels/Desktop/moin-1.0] giels# python setup.py install --record=install.log
running install
running build
running build_py
creating build
....
creating /usr/share/moin/htdocs/applets
creating /usr/share/moin/htdocs/applets/TWikiDrawPlugin
writing list of installed files to 'install.log'
</nowiki></pre>

Now installation is finished. You will find a file `install.log` on the desktop in the folder `moin-x.x`.

=== configuration ===
First make a copy of the original [[MoinMoin]] site:

<pre><nowiki>
[pm142:giels/Desktop/moin-1.0] giels#
[pm142:giels/Desktop/moin-1.0] giels# egrep "^User|^Group" /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
User www
Group www
[pm142:giels/Desktop/moin-1.0] giels# cd /usr/share/moin/

drwxr-xr-x 44 root wheel 1496 May 12 19:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 May 12 19:49 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 306 May 12 19:49 data
drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 204 May 12 19:49 htdocs
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels#
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels# mkdir mgwiki
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels# cp -r data mgwiki
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels# cp cgi-bin/* mgwiki
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels# chown -R www.www mgwiki
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels# chmod a+rx mgwiki/*.cgi
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels#
</nowiki></pre>

Configure Apache. We'll use the pico editor:

<pre><nowiki>
[pm142:/usr/share/moin] giels# pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
</nowiki></pre>

Scroll to the end of the file and edit like the example below, (only the last two lines are added; use control-x to save the file):

<pre><nowiki>
RegisterDefaultSite
</IfModule>

Include /private/etc/httpd/users

Alias /wiki/ "/usr/share/moin/htdocs/"
ScriptAlias /mgwiki "/usr/share/moin/mgwiki/moin.cgi"

^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ^R Read File ^Y Prev Pg ^K Cut Text ^C Cur Pos
^X Exit ^J Justify ^W Where is ^V Next Pg ^U UnCut Text ^T To Spell
</nowiki></pre>

Restart Apache:

<pre><nowiki>
[pm142:/etc] giels# apachectl help
usage: /usr/sbin/apachectl (start|stop|restart|fullstatus|status|graceful|configtest|help)

start - start httpd
stop - stop httpd
restart - restart httpd if running by sending a SIGHUP or start if
not running
fullstatus - dump a full status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabled
status - dump a short status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabled
graceful - do a graceful restart by sending a SIGUSR1 or start if not running
configtest - do a configuration syntax test
help - this screen

[pm142:/etc] giels#
[pm142:/etc] giels# apachectl graceful
/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful: httpd gracefully restarted
[pm142:/etc] giels#
</nowiki></pre>

=== testing ===

In a web-browser surf to the site: `pm142/mgwiki`

== Comments ==

Here are a couple of issues with my Mac OS X install I needed to fix:

# The TWiki drawing jar file is not installed, so drawings do not work. You have to find the twikidraw.jar file (download the latest stable [[MoinMoin]] tar.gz file and uncompress like: `tar xzvf moinmoin.tar.gz`), and copy the twikidraw.jar file (under `htdocs/applets/TWikiDrawPlugin`) to this folder `/usr/share/moin/htdocs/applets/TWikiDrawPlugin/`. You'll probably need to use sudo: `sudo cp twikidraw.jar /usr/share/moin/htdocs/applets/TWikiDrawPlugin/` and set permissions: `sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/moin/htdocs/applets/TWikiDrawPlugin/twikidraw.jar`
# The RSS feed for your [[Special:Recentchanges|RecentChanges]] page may be broken. You need to install the most recent version of [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxml/ PyXML]. Here's how I did so and the RSS feed was fixed. `curl -O http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pyxml/PyXML-0.8.3.tar.gz` `tar xzvf PyXML-0.8.3.tar.gz` `cd PyXML-0.8.3` `sudo python setup.py --without-xpath build` `sudo python setup.py install`

OS X users with a fink install need to chance the path `/usr/share/moin` to `/sw/share/moin`. see `install.log`.
