Usually this means that mediawiki detects the new server as not supporting
PATH INFO (usually deoends on the combination of server software and which
php sapi is in use), so it cannot use the automatic short url setup. In
such a case you usually need to setup rewrite rules to make it work,
although you can also try adjusting $wgUsePathInfo to override the feature
support autodetection if you think path info is really supported.

Hi,
I just relocated my site by changing hosting providers. I set up my
old site some time ago, but I thought I migrated everything to the
new site. On the old site, I could reference pages by the URL
/wiki/index.php/<page>, such as
http://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Category:DEC
Now those URLs aren't working and when I browse the wiki, the URLs
are all of the form
http://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:DEC
From looking at mediawiki documentation, it seems the preferred way
to make the URLs work again is to use .htaccess and a rewrite rule?
Am I headed in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
