Well, theres your issue. You need to mention more in IRC.
The ScriptPath and all other variables in MediaWiki are always
absolutes. Relatives are never used because with all the aliases and
other stuff, relative paths get corrupted quickly and easily.
For example:
The path: wiki/index.php/Main_Page
From:
http://mail.deathstar.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Would be treated as a link to:
http://mail.deathstar.net/wiki/index.php/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
And similarly your wiki/skins/ is going to be corrupted in the same way
in an attempt to grab links to things under wiki/index.php/
Though, I note that your wiki is just plain gone right now.
I'd recommend reinstalling from scratch... But this time actually
install MediaWiki yourself. Every last one of the external installers
are junk... They don't keep up with the software, and 99% of the time
they are horribly buggy and don't simplify things at all. MediaWiki
already has it's own config script.

Hello, I installed MediaWiki using yum. The web based
config gave me no errors and the db was populated just
fine. The problem is that when i browse
http://mail.deathstar.net/wiki/ , my page is broken
with no images and no cool layout. I just get a white
background thing with some formatted text.
I did a view src and:
--------------
<a style="background-image:
url(wiki/skins/common/images/wiki.png);"
href="wiki/index.php/Main_Page" title="Visit the Main
Page
------------------
Note that wiki/skins.. does not lie under my Apache
DocumentRoot. Why is the PHP generating a link like
that?
I have a default apache install with:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
Apache: DocumentRoot "/var/www/"
My /var/www/wiki/LocalSettings.php contains:
if( defined( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' ) ) {
$IP = MW_INSTALL_PATH;
} else {
$IP = '/usr/share/mediawiki';
}
$wgScriptPath = "wiki"; (because this should be
relative to my Apache DocumentRoot [URL base path])
-------------------------------------------------------
Could someone help me figure out what needs to be done
to gett his to work?? Should i create an Apache Alias
for wiki/skins ??
