Configuring a single wiki

If you run a single wiki, you should not copy the file `farmconfig.py` into your configuration directory (remove it and the `.pyc` file, if it is there). Without farmconfig, moin uses the default `wikiconfig.py`

`wikiconfig.py` normally is located besides your `moin.cgi` driver script. If you need to make a custom install, it can be located anywhere, but you must add the path to the directory where it is located to your Python system path in your server script. See the "System Path Configuration" section in your server script.

Wiki configuration file structure

General notes on wiki/farmconfig.py structure: 

# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-

from MoinMoin.multiconfig import DefaultConfig

class Config(DefaultConfig):

    sitename = u'MyWiki'   # u means that it will be converted to Unicode
    interwikiname = 'MyWiki'
    data_dir = '/where/ever/mywiki/data/'
    underlay_dir = '/where/ever/mywiki/underlay/'
    
    # More settings follow...

Unicode options

Certain options must use unicode values. For example, the site name could contain German umlauts or French accents or be in Chinese or Hebrew. Because of this, you must use unicode strings for those items. Unicode strings are defined by prefixing the letter `u` to the string. Here are some examples: 

    # Site name, used by default for wiki name-logo [Unicode]
    sitename = u"Jürgen's Wiki"
    # another example:
    sitename = u'ÔÕÕÙçÙ éÜ ÙÕèÒß'

Read the comments in the configuration file - they tell you which options must use Unicode values.

Notes:

International Setup

The default configuration file shipped with moin uses `iso-8859-1` coding. This is fine for Latin languages like English or German, but not usable for non-latin languages. If you want to have non-latin characters in your configuration items, use utf-8 coding for the config file.

Set the first line of all configuration files to this line: 

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Values using unicode strings (international users might want to change them):

For ready made configuration in your language, see ConfigMarket. Read also the section about unicode options.

Configuración de varias instancias de wikis

El motor de wiki moinmoin es capaz de soportar varios wikis con una única instalación, un conjunto de archivos de configuración y un sólo proceso servidor. Especialmente para ambientes persistenes como twisted, debido a que el servidor twisted se ejecutará permanentemente en una dirección IP y un puerto TCP específicos. Para tener dominios virtuales de múltiples dominios (wikis) en la misma IP y puerto, necesitamos que el motor wiki cargue permanentemente varias configuraciones al mismo tiempo y escoja la adecuada cuando se recibe una solicitad específica para un URL.

Para escojer la configuración adecuada, moin usa la variable de configuración `wikis` presente en el archivo `farmconfig.py` - que contiene una lista de pares `(nombredelwiki, url-regex)`. Por favor usa solamente identificadores válidos para `nombredelwiki` (para ser exacto: `identificador ::= (letra|"_") (letra | dígito | "_")*` - basta con una palabra sencilla si no entiendes la regla gramatical). Cuando moin procesa una solicitud para un URL, moin busca en la lista y trata de encontrar una coincidencia con la expresión regular de URL(url-regex) frente al URL acutal. Si no coincide, continua con el par siguiente. Si coincide, moin carga un archivo de configuración llamado `<nombredelwiki>.py` (usualmente en el mismo directorio) que contiene la configuración para tal wiki.

`farmconfig.py` en el archivo de distribución contiene algunos ejemplos para una granja con varios wikis. Solamente debes adaptarla para que se ajuste a tus necesidades si deseas ejecutar varios wikis.

/!\ Para facilitar la escritura de estas páginas, llamaremos al archivo de configuración `<nombredelwiki>.py` simplemente `wikiconfig.py`, por supuesto que puedes emplear el nombre de archivo que desees.

Asuminos que has adaptado la variable de configuración `wikis` en `farmconfig.py` (ver arriba), así que ofrecemos solamente algunas pistas de como puedes ahorrar trabajo. Lee también las pistas para configuración de una configuración para un wiki único porque explica la herencia de configuración.

Usamos la configuración basada en la clase para poder configurar las opciones comunes para todos tus wikis en un solo lugar: en la configuración de la clase base (para un ejemplo, ver `farmconfig.py`):

farmconfig.py: 

# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
# farmconfig.py:
from MoinMoin.multiconfig import DefaultConfig
class FarmConfig(DefaultConfig):
    url_prefix = '/wiki'
    show_hosts = 1
    underlay_dir = '/where/ever/common/underlay'
    # ...

Las configuraciones de cada uno de tus wikis solamente difieren en aquello que deseas se único para cada uno de ellos (como el logo, o el directorio de datos o las configuraciones ACL). Todo el resto que obtienen por herencia de la clase de configuración base, ver `moinmaster.py` para un ejemplo.

moinmaster.py: 

# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
# moinmaster.py:
from farmconfig import FarmConfig
class Config(FarmConfig):
    show_hosts = 0
    sitename = u'MoinMaster'
    interwikiname = 'MoinMaster'
    data_dir = '/org/de.wikiwikiweb.moinmaster/data/'
    # ...

Overview of configuration options

The following table contains default values and a short description for all configuration variables. Most of these can be left at their defaults, those you need to change with every installation are listed in the sample `wikiconfig.py` that comes with the distribution.

Some values can only be set from MoinMoin/config.py (part of the MoinMoin code and thus GLOBALLY changing behaviour of all your wikis), but not from the individual wiki's config - you should only touch them if you know what you are doing:

charset

'utf-8'

the encoding / character set used by the wiki

lowerletters

ucs-2 lowercase letters

Lowercase letters, used to define what is a WikiName

smileys

{}

user-defined smileys (a dict with the markup as the key and a tuple of width, height, border, image name as the value)

umask

0770

umask used on all open(), mkdir() and similar calls

upperletters

ucs-2 uppercase letters

uppercase letters, used to define what is a WikiName

url_schemas

`[]`

additional URL schemas you want to have recognized (list of strings; e.g. `['ldap', 'imap']`)

Special options

Character Set

Moin uses unicode internally, and `utf-8` for external output and input, like pages, html output and translation files. The external character set is defined in `config.charset` to `utf-8`. This setting is fine for all languages, as any character can be encoded in utf-8. You should not change this value, although technically it is possible.
