Greets:
I am trying to install a local copy of MediaWiki with the March 8th database from the download server and I am having a problem with rewrites.
I'm following the instructions loated here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_rules#Using_an_alias_in_httpd.conf
(I have my own server so changing settings is not an issue)
I've gone ahead and installed MediaWiki under a subdomain as suggested within the rewrite page and made the change within the LocalSettings.php file. I have also gone ahead and edited local httpd.conf for the domain to add the following: Alias /wiki /home/username/domains/fillmewith.info/public_html/w/index.php
and did a restart afterwards.
The strange thing though is that links on the home page such as:
http://www.fillmewith.info/wiki/index.php/Mine
turn into:
http://www.fillmewith.info/wiki/Index.php/Mine
when clicked on. (Notice the capital I in index.php) I'd imagine that this is causing the Alias to be thrown off and not work. I'm assuming that MediaWiki is thinking that the index.php is the same as an article which would explain the capitalization. (If you follow the link above, it leads to an article labeled "Index.php/Mine" which, of course, doesn't exist.)
On the discussion page of the rewrite rule, there's no mention of this and I'm not aware of any search function of this mailing list. I've double checked the LocalSettings.php file, the .htaccess file, etc. but nothing jumps out at me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, -drmike
Anyone care to make a suggestion?
