I'd like to change $wgScriptPath from the default of "/wiki", but I'm having trouble. If I want to change it to, say, "/mfqzww", do I need to create a directory called "mfqzww" somewhere? (Didn't think so; there's no directory called "wiki".)
Generally, I don't understand where things are. When I point a browser to localhost/wiki, I get redirected to localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page. I see I have an index.php in /srv/mediawiki (same as the directory with LocalSettings.php). But where is Main_Page? There's no such file. Is Main_Page just something in a MySql database?
My goal is quite simple. I'm trying to set up a wiki for myself and a few friends (we're not all on the same network though), and I'd like to rely on obscurity to keep the material reasonably invisible to the rest of the world. Unwanted visitors might guess http://tedsserver.net/wiki, but probably not something like http://tedsserver.net/mfqzww. So that's all I want to do; change "wiki" to "mfqzww". And unfortunately, just changing $wgScriptPath doesn't seem to be enough.
