setting up a wiki instance

[gnarasi]

I have installed moin1.2 as root(in /usr/lib and /usr/share dirs.)
It works fine.
In trying to setup a wiki instance in my home directory(public_html)
I am unable to execute moin.cgi script. I have other .cgi scripts in
/public_html/cgi_bin/ dir.
For example executing http://localhst/public_html/cgi-bin/my.cgi
gives:
Hello, today is: 03/03/04
When I try moin.cgi instead i have a message that declares that
Mozilla does not know how to handle files of type
Application/x-httpd-cgi
moin.cgi is a python script and I am running MandrameLinux9.2
If I can run moin1.2(FrontPage) as root installed what is hindering
its use as user installed?
Thanks for any help. gnarasi
