Oh, well you could forward every request to rootdir, to your subfolder using an alias, but then it would be better putting the wiki on the root folder, as you wouldn't be able to use your root dir this would make it pointless to keep the wiki in a subfolder.
So you can forward your 404 pages to a better place, wiki subfolder, like wikipedia does. You could use the code I've sent before with parameters but that would make the user think it's the right syntax, making them always use that syntax and wait more to enter the page everytime. So mediawiki uses valid 404 pages, showing the user it was a wrong page, and forwarding them with an http refresh tag, which you can give any time delay.

Thanks, that works. But what if someone were to type mysite.com/pagename, that won't redirect them to mysite.com/wiki/pagename.
Do you know how to do that?

Hey, here you go :
<?php header( 'Location: wiki/' ) ; ?>
That's all you need to put in your index file at your web root.

Hey all,
Can anyone help me write an apache alias/redirect to get users from mysite.com to mysite.com/wiki
I am using pretty URL's so /wiki is actually /w using this apache
alias:
Alias /wiki /var/www/w/index.php
However, this requires users to click the "w" directory to enter the
site,
very bad.
