Hi,
in the end I did a reinstall.
I am still getting This web page is not available.
The web page at *http://www.thesii.org/wiki/w/index.php/Main_Page* might be
temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Still confused!
(There is no active .htaccess file and
works
fine)
Regards,
Phill.

It's fine as is but the standard way is the have mediawiki live in

Yes, heed Jeremy's advice, drop it in wiki/w/ which will allow for
wiki.thesii.org/w/index.php to work, then play with the rewrite. The
manual is very specific
about not using the directory /w. It will work, but can be problematic
with some functions.
The subdomain deffinately exists!
Yes, it exists.
Yes it does,
wiki.thesii.org/api.php is valid, but..see below.
As to what .htaccess would be complaining at, I'm at a loss. DNS has an
entry for
wiki.thesii.org (else we would get the header site), apache
tells
it where it is installed and the programme files are all in the correct
place?
Something is redirecting / and /index.php and other paths to
/index.php/Main_Page. That doesn't happen out of the box and you
should figure out what it is and disable it. First get MediaWiki
working at all and then worry about Short URLs. See
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL>
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL when you're ready for
it.

AMEN!
A call to
wiki.thesii.org is returning a 301 moved permanently redirect.
Where are you
redirecting too?? This is why I said rename htaccess to turn it off and
see if it will work
without trying to rewrite the URLs.
