Everything seems to be working fine now. However, I still have the
issue of the base URL which I would like to change. Here is the
problem.
The hints I've been getting over at MediaWiki and here on the list seem
to not address the real problem. You see, the url:
http://wiki.oxus.net/Main_Page
works! This is already done through my URL forwarding from
EasyDNS.org.
So I don't think I need rewrite rules like this one:
RewriteCond %{REQIEST_URI} ^wiki.oxusnet.net
RewriteRule ^(.*) wiki.oxus.net$1
Right? What I want is for all the wiki URLs *within* MediaWiki to use
http://wiki.oxus.net/
instead of the server actually hosting the site:
http://wiki.oxusnet.net/
But there seems to be no way to force MediaWiki to use a domain of my
choosing, so what happens is that the first time anyone hits a link on
the site, it goes to
oxusnet.net. I don't want anyone to know that this
is where it is hosted.
I see that older versions of LocalSettings.php had a line:
$wgServer = "http://wiki.oxus.net";
But adding this to my beta5 installation didn't do anything. Is there
any way to get MediaWiki to us this as the base URL?
Thanks for your help!
