A few quick things you can check:
- Check your real and virtual paths. Most wikis seem to use the real path "/w/" and have a redirect of "/wiki/" to "/w/index.php?title=" for nice URLs. - Ensure that your path /wiki/ is readable/executable by Apache. Easiest way to check if you have ssh/root access is to sudo as the Apache user. - Similarly ensure that index.php and the rest of the Wiki path/files are readable by Apache. - Ensure your Apache/web server is correctly setup. Try access static files (images, CSS, etc...) from within the wiki path and make sure they are accessible. - If you've modified your Apache/web server configuration make sure to restart it.

Hi,
I have a GoDaddy hosted linux server where MediaWiki was installed. Whenever we go to our website however, we receive a 404 error message:
The requested URL /wiki/index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I'm confused as to what the problem could be. When I FTP into the server and go into the wiki folder, the index.php file is present. All the necessary components (php, MySQL, etc) are all installed. I have looked at the localsettings.php file and everything appears to be correct.
My interpretation is that for some reason, upon initializing the script cannot locate the index.php file. I have been parsing through various php files but nothing looks out of place to me (although I could be wrong as I am new to this).
Any help would be tremendously appreciated,
