hi,

i have nearly got it to work, except search is not working. i have tried different combinations of rewritrules, but to no avail. what i use is given below, based on the entry in meta.wikipedia. obviously i don't know mod_rewrite well enough to go much beyond.

i am using mediawiki 1.3.1 installed in /wiki/. the .htaccess file is in /wiki/.

The LocalSettings.php variables are: $wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php"; $wgArticlePath = "$wgScriptPath/$1";

Thanks in advance for your help. saurav ----- # .htaccess file. # first, enable the processing RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /wiki

# Verifying if user forgot to put trailling slash. If so, we'll rewrite to Main_Page RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wiki$ RewriteRule ^(.*) /wiki/index.php [L]

# Don't rewrite requests for files in MediaWiki subdirectories, # MediaWiki PHP files, HTTP error documents, favicon.ico, or robots.txt RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wiki/(stylesheets|images)/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wiki/(redirect|texvc|index).php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/error/(40(1|3|4)|500).html RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wiki/favicon.ico RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt

# Make sure there is no query string. /Adrian # This gives "badly formed search query". # gets /wiki/Special:Search?search=somequery&go=Go instead of # /wiki/index.php?search=somequery&go=Go RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wiki/Special:Search

# Rewrite any article as wiki/index.php/article and stop RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?title=$1 [L] ------------
