As I said leaving mediawiki in the root (pointing DocumentRoot to the
mediawiki directory) is not recommended. When I set up a wiki I tend to put
the code in /wiki and use rewrite rules to make /w the clean URLs. I would
also check your rewrite rules too. Try going directly to your index.php page

John,
I moved the entire wiki to a sub-directory called "mediawiki". Pointed the
DocumentRoot to the path "/var/www/html/mediawiki", stop/started Apache.
*The requested URL /mediawiki/Main_Page was not found on this server.*
Is there another setting that I'm missing?
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Yes, I know that v1.25 is out of date and needs to be upgraded.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

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
