Description

If you start your standalone server with the "--pidfile" parameter; you would like eg. to save your pid file to some subdirectory. But the pid file get's saved always in the currently "working" dir...

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the MoinMoin Version 1.7.0 (maybe with some  --prefix=$HOME  )

2. do some config on files like wikiserverconfig, farmconfig, etc... (in your local wiki instance)
3. cd to your home dir (/home/beteigeuze)

4. starting with the following parameter:  moin server standalone --start --pid=/home/beteigeuze/webapps/moinmoin/config/moin.pid 

5. moinmoin is working correctly; but the pid file is saved in /home/beteigeuze/moin.pid and not in the wanted subdir

Example

Component selection

• moin.py or standalone.py

Details

Workaround

• make some cd before; my startscript looks now like:

echo "MoinMoin starting..."
cd /home/beteigeuze/webapps/moinmoin/config/
moin server standalone --start --pid=/home/beteigeuze/webapps/moinmoin/config/moin.pid
