Is it me?
I can't work out how to install Pwyky under Apache on my Windows XP laptop. I installed a fresh Apache version, fresh Python version, twiddled the settings in httpd.conf so I could call the index.cgi script (that works). I commented in the rewrite module and made sure index.cgi is listed under DirectoryIndex. But I can't figure out how to configure the setup so I can then just access the /wiki directory as you're supposed to. I guess the problem lies in the fact that the directory is configured as a script directory (so the Python engine is called) but also needs to be accessed as /wiki. I guess I'm just to stupid for this type of stuff now and it is probably an RTFM. The error is basically: Permission denied. Anyone have an easy-to-follow description for me? Tonight I'm going to try the same installation on my Powerbook. And I bet it works in minutes.
Update: I got it to work. Basically, just make sure you have Options: ExecCGI and AllowOverride: All turned on in httpd.conf for the directory you install Pwyky into. Yes I know that's common sense. Thanks.
