So, you have a ready-to-work MoinMoin installation now. Congratulations! Before you go on to configuring it, take a look at the various files and directories that have been installed.

It is important that you understand the different locations used in a MoinMoin setup, so read this carefully.
In the following descriptions, PREFIX is what you used with the setup.py command, or a default location if you didn't use the --prefix option. (Typical default values on Linux are /usr and /usr/local.) X.Y is the version of Python. Typically, this is 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5.
Look into install.log to find out about following important locations:
MoinMoin directory, usually PREFIX/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/MoinMoin -- this is where the MoinMoin source code is located
share directory, usually PREFIX/share/moin - this is where the templates are located
data directory (wiki pages, users, etc.) - only MoinMoin should access this
underlay directory (wiki pages) - only MoinMoin should access this
htdocs directory with html support files (images for the various themes, etc.) - the web server will need to access this
server - MoinMoin example startup files (like moin.cgi for CGI, and other files for other startup methods)
config - MoinMoin example configuration files (like wikiconfig.py)
bin directory with some scripts that help you use the MoinMoin shell commands
We talk of templates in the share directory because you usually will not use those files at that location, but copy them elsewhere when you need them. This way, you can set-up several wikis without problems, and easily upgrade to new MoinMoin versions.
