     logfile=/tmp/moin.log
```
/var/lib/moin/SITE/data contains a edit-log and event-log , the event-log can get really big.

Setup /etc/logrotate.d/moinmoin to keep the event-log under controll.

Added section to file

"/var/lib/moinmoin/*/data/event-log" {
  monthly
  maxsize 10000000
  rotate 12

        service uwsgi restart
        endscript
}

2018 uwsgi logging MemoryError for MoinMoin access
- Restart uwsgi fixes problem temporarily
- add to uwsgi config "max-requests" at 2000 to restart after this many requests served.
- real cause was setting in uwsgi config "limit-as 256" killing it if memory more than 256, up to 300
