Walter,
Thanks for the reply. I saw that website before since its mentioned in the
comments in the LocalSettings.php file but it didn't look like what I
needed. I could be wrong, of course, since I'm not even sure I understand
the problem correctly. I did go through the directions on that page just
now and it didn't seem to change anything.
It seems to me like that page is meant to get the webserver to print the URL as
/Main_Page instead of
?title=Main_Page. It would seem that this is exactly what my new version
of mediawiki is trying to do, though, and that apache can't find the page
correctly. The tips in this page only suggest making an alias to the
directory but I would think some rewrite rules might be needed as well. Is
there something else I could try? Thanks.
Josh
Both mod_alias and mod_rewrite can be used.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Short_URL has examples for both.
If you're not able to change the apache configuration to match the
expected one, you can always modify $wgArticlePath on LocalSettings to
use ugly urls.
