New subject: Getting started

19 Jun 2009

Hello Mary,

the self.langs should contain the hostname 'localhost'. The path for the
wiki should be given in scriptpath. In your case, try something like

  self.langs = {'en': 'localhost'}

  def scriptpath(self, code):
    return '/default'

Hopefully that should work!

Best reagards,
Merlijn

 Subject: [Pywikipedia-l] Getting started

 I am trying to setup pywikipedia to work on my local wiki.  I have tried
 to follow online steps plus steps within README-family.txt.

 My test wiki is: http://localhost/default  (it is not live anywhere).

 It seems like I am having trouble with this line within default_family.py
 (my family file).

        self.langs = {                # REQUIRED
             'en': 'localhost/default',  # Include one line for each wiki
 in family
                                       # in the format 'code':
'hostname',
         }

 I have tried many different possibilities but have been unsuccessful.
 Here is the message I receive with login.py:
