Description

Installed version 1.6.1 from scratch. But when I try to visit any page in a web-browser, I get "CGI application did not return complete set of HTTP headers" error. If I add the "standard" print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n" to my moin.cgi file then I can see the pages.

Then on the top of every page I see that log goes to stdout: 182152 INFO logging initialized Status: 200 OK Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Vary: Cookie,User-Agent,Accept-Language.

If I roll back to 1.5.8, then everything's fine.

Steps to reproduce

1. install 1.6.1 with IIS 6.0

Example

Component selection

• logging / cgi

Details

Workaround

Go to moin.cgi and change it like this:

import logging
from MoinMoin.server.server_cgi import CgiConfig, run

class Config(CgiConfig):
    # This is important, IIS does not like stuff on stderr:
    loglevel_stderr = None

    # But you still want to have moin's log output somewhere,
    # thus we write it to an own log file. Make sure that this
    # log file can be created/updated by the moin process!
    loglevel_file = logging.INFO
    # Server name - used to create .log and .prof files
    name = 'moin'
    logPath = '/path/to/logdir/%s.log' % name

Discussion

Not clear wheter this is a IIS bug or a moin bug. I could not find official cgi specs telling something about stderr.

Plan

• Priority:
• Assigned to:
• Status: see workaround above. in 1.7 there will be a very configurable logging system.
