Hi there, I just installed MoinMoin 1.3.3 on my ISPs machine with ftp-only. Roughly I did the following: 0) I downloaded and unpacked the distribution strictly speaking, no setup was required (although I work with a local installation to hack) 1) I transfered htdocs into my remote directory 2) I transfered MoinMoin into my remote directory (protecting it via .htaccess deny from all) 3) I transfered data into my remote directory (.htaccess protected) 4) I transfered underlay into my remote directory (.htaccess protected) 5) I created a config directory and transfered the properly adjusted wikiconfig.py into it (.htaccess protected) 6) I renamed moin.cgi to moin.py and transfered it to the remote directory. As far as I can tell anything works fine. Now I have three questions: a) Is this setup known to be save or are there any security drawbacks? b) Is it desirable to have installation instructions for this kind of setup included in the HelpFiles? I could write one page or so. c) Would it not be fine to have a special package of files and an install wizard to do this kind of setup? I could go and write a quick and dirty install script. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
