John,
Are you suggesting that I create a sub-directory call "Mediawiki" and put
the wiki there?
I'll give it a try.
Thanks.
Daryl

Brian,
Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I know that v1.25 is out of date and needs to be upgraded. I'll
tackle that once I get it migrated over to a new environment.
The original environment *WAS *an XAMPP and was installed as a Bitnami
package. Because of security vulnerabilities, the entire environment
needs
to be upgraded. But because I used XAMPP, I
can't upgrade Apache, or
MySQL
or PHP. I would have to wipe out the entire
install and do a fresh
install. That is not acceptable, so I decided to do what I should have
done the first time, install Apache, MySQL, PHP and Mediawiki as
individual
components.
Even though I was successful at accessing the database from the command
line, and verifying the contents, I decided to change the password and
tried the wiki site again. This time I received an error saying that it
could not find the front page. This is actually a step forward. This is
telling me that it connected to the database.
So now I'm facing path issues. The intitial install was
"/opt/lampp/apps/mediawiki/htdocs". The new path is
"/var/www/html".
After changing the database password, I got the following URL:
"<FQDN>/mediawiki/Main_Page". I looked in LocalSettings.php and saw
that
"$wgArticlePath" was set to "/mediawiki/$1". I removed
"mediawiki" from
the path, stop/started Apache, but now I get "<FQDN>/Main_Page" in the
url
bar, and "The requested URL /Main_Page was
not found on this server".
Looking a little deeper, I see "$wgScriptPath" set to "/mediawiki".
I
know
that isn't correct, so I changed it
".". I didn't know if that would
work
or not. Apparently not.
There is still a path issue somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I know
that
in the database I saw
""/opt/lampp/apps/mediawiki", but I don't want to
start changing paths in the database until I know that I can at least
bring
up the main page. If there is a path in the
database that I need to
change, please let me know where to look.
Thank you.

Other than that, I believe everything else is the same.
MediaWiki is V1.25.
Any suggestions on where to start looking?
Thanks
