Hi I want have an icon in the browser's address-line when my wiki site being accessed. Just as the W icon when www. wikipedia.com being accessed.

I did the following but won't work.

I change the icon in browser's address-line? The wiki will output a <link> which references the traditional /favicon.ico, at the root URL path of your site. (Some browsers will look there even without the

<link>, others require it.)

If you want to use some other icon specifically for those browsers supporting it, you can change a bit in /includes/Skin.php. Change the line from 'href' => '/favicon.ico' to 'href' => '/var/www/wiki/skins/monobook/favicon.ico'.

I suppose you mean: '/skins/monobook/favicon.ico'

Any suggestion?

I don't know, it works well for me, I simply made a 16x16 favicon.ico file with gimp and put it at the root of the server (in your case it looks like you should put it in /var/www/wiki/ or /var/www/).

The favicon is handled by the web server where there is a favicon.ico file in the web root (public_html, htdocs, wwwroot etc.). MediaWiki doesn't touch the favicon nor try to do anything with it.
