= Problem using Apache =

After setting up Apache with mod_python, I obtain the following ConfigurationError on the browser.

data_dir "..\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c3-py2.5.egg\data" does not exists, or has   incorrect ownership or permissions.
Make sure the directory and the subdirectory pages are owned by the web server and are readable, writable and executable by the web server user and group.
It is recommended to use absolute paths and not relative paths. Check also the spelling of the directory name.

This is a very odd message. Why moin is looking for such a directory. In addition I have a setuptools-0.6c5-py2.5.egg file in my site-packages directory (not setuptools-0.6c3-py2.5.egg) and this is a file, it doesn't contain any directory data (it is a file). Any idea?



== Steps to reproduce ==

 * I modified my Apache configuration file by adding the following lines
{{{
  Listen 8070
  ServerName    localhost
  NameVirtualHost *:8070
  <VirtualHost *:8070>
  DocumentRoot  ".../mywiki"
  #
  <Location "/">
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler MoinMoin.request::RequestModPy.run
    PythonPath "sys.path + [r'.../mywiki']"
  </Location>
}}}

 * I restarted Apache and pointed to http://localhost:8070/
 * And I obtained the error message

== Workaround ==
no idea how to fix the problem

Maybe try reading the docs and configuring your wiki will help. The path for the data_dir is set in wikiconfig.py (assuming you have a single wiki). Please use an absolute path, not a relative one. :)
