Either setting $wgServer or clearing the objectcache did the trick; thanks very much.

I seem to be getting one other minor problem in my new MediaWiki release.

If I use http://www.rpg.net/wiki, everything works fine.

However if I change to http://wiki.rpg.net (also changing $wgScriptPath from "/wiki" to "") then any pages where I type the URL into the URL bar on my browser work fine, but the links insert a second index.php into every link, like this: http://www.rpg.net/wiki/index.php/Index.php/Special:Specialpages

Any idea what I might be missing here?

First, make sure your paths are correct. From your description you should have something like:

$wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1";

Make sure that $wgScript is never empty, and that $wgScript and $wgArticlePath's final values always begin with a / character. (Here they expand to "/index.php" and "/index.php/$1" respectively.)

If your virtual host is not setting the ServerName variable you may see it redirecting you to the wrong host, and you will have to also override the autodetected $wgServer:

$wgServer = "http://wiki.rpg.net";

And to make sure the changed configuration is reflected in links in pages, clear the objectcache table in the database:

DELETE FROM objectcache;

You can clear individual pages by adding ?action=purge to the end of the URL.
