See the mod_wsgi homepage. (!) Please note that its "daemon mode" should be the preferred way to use it (and this is the reason to prefer mod_wsgi over mod_python).

Install mod_wsgi Set up a wiki instance Edit wikiconfig.py Changes to Apache configuration Restart Apache The sample configurations below are for a wiki instance called mywiki installed in a directory /var/www/moin/mywiki with the main MoinMoin installation installed in python's default site library path. The wiki appears as URL /mywiki under the server - ie http://my.ser.ver/mywiki. You will need to change these to reflect your installation.

Most people will just add a mod_wsgi package to their current operating system installation. If you are building from source then you should consult the mod_wsgi documentation (it is rather easy if you have a development environment installed). Make sure you have this line in your apache configuration or mod_wsgi will not work: After this restart Apache and make sure that it starts successfully (also check the the error log).

This is done as shown in WikiInstanceCreation. Its recommended to first configure the wiki with cgi and check that it works, then change the configuratin to use mod_wsgi. This allows you be sure that any problems are in the mod_wsgi transition rather than the basic MoinMoin installation. Copy moin.cgi into your wiki directory Configure httpd.conf as cgi first: Restart Apache and make test that your wiki works.

Make sure you use only absolute paths: Test that the wiki works after this change.

After your wiki is running as cgi script, convert it to run with mod_wsgi. If you run your wiki as cgi as we recommended before, remove or comment the ScriptAlias directive: Add this to the same virtualhost definition: Please also have a look into moin.wsgi - you maybe have to change some sys.path.insert instructions so Python can find the MoinMoin code and the wiki configuration. Restart Apache - everything should now work correctly.
