The moin command is installed when you used setup.py. If invoking from the shell prompt does not find the moin command, you can also customize and use wiki/server/moin. Look into that script, there are some pathes to configure. E.g. if you only have one wiki or one wiki farm on your machine and you configure sys.path in the moin command script, you do not need to give --config-dir=... option with every invocation. You can also setup logging there if you don't like the builtin logging configuration. example for a default instance

This tool allows you to create user homepages via a command line interface.

More information about dumping the wiki in HelpOnMoinCommand/ExportDump.

To package all user created pages, do not specify --pages or --search.

may be you need a dir with ircfiles

Imports the wiki page from given file into the wiki.

Build the Xapian search index. To build your index the first time, execute: You can check the status of Xapian and its index on SystemInfo. Moreover, the following modes can be passed to the command above to control the building of the index: Please note that moin updates the index if you add / modify / delete items using the wiki. Thus, it shouldn't be necessary to invoke "rebuild" except after changing xapian related configuration options. On the other hand, it is maybe not a bad idea either to use some wiki idle time (at late night, at sunday?) to do a periodic index rebuild, just for the case some index update didn't work, for whatever reason.

removes cache files

create a Linux shell script that can be used (after reviewing it) to clean up in the data_dir. It tries to classify the page directories into classes like trash and deleted and it will move those page dirs from their usual place to 2 directories (you have to create them!) trash and deleted.

This script allows you to clean up session files (usually used to maintain a "logged-in session" for http(s) or xmlrpc).

This is primarily for moin development use for globally editing pages in a wiki (we use it for streamlining ACLs and metadata on the master wiki). If you like to use it, please read the sourcecode first.

For moin development use only (mails the translators to notify them e.g. about a new release).

creates cache files based on event-log and pagelinks

NEVER EVER RUN THIS ON A REAL WIKI!!! This must be run on a local testwiki

migrates data of pages to a newer version

Starts the standalone server (and offers more options that just using ./wikiserver.py).

e.g.

needs a remotescriptconf.py
