Hi,

I have red some manuals and FAQs, but I haven't figured out, how to redirect my mw installation to a subdomain. Can you explain it to me? Let me give an example:

I have set a subdomain:* tech.foo.com* with directory */public_html/tech*. My provider say: "tech.foo.com is equal to foo.com/tech, so you must redirect it via mw". But I dont know how. As I would like to set up wiki family, I prefer to redirect it to the subdomain, that the URLs look like tech.foo.com/index.php/~ or tech.foo.com/w/~

Thanks for help, Juan de Vojníkov

There's nothing to redirect. Extract mediawiki to the tech folder. That will give you tech.foo.com/index.php/ARTICLE_NAME urls. If you also want tech.foo.com/w/ARTICLE_NAME create a redirect rule for that.

Note: Install the wiki from tech.foo.com/config/index.php and not from foo.com/tech/config/index.php since mediawiki will remember the url in which it was installed, so it's better if it gets it right the first time.
