Hi, I'm running Sabayon Linux (64-bit, up to date with all updates -- it's a rolling release system to version numbers are irrelevant) and while I managed to install MW 1.25.2 on it successfully I cannot seem to shorten URLs properly. My MediaWiki base directory (i.e., the one with index.php, LocalSettings.php, etc. in it) is /var/www/localhost/htdocs/w and I am using MariaDB as my RDBMS, if relevant. To shorten my URL (from w/index.php to wiki) I added: AllowOverride All RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L] to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and added: $wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; $wgUsePathInfo = true; to my LocalSettings.php file. I also ran: systemctl restart apache2 php maintenance/update.php after this. I then opened up http://localhost/wiki/Linux_Wiki (my main page) in Google Chrome and got a page with the error message: This web page is not available I also tried opening up http://localhost/w/index.php/Linux_Wiki (where my main page was prior to the URL shortening attempt) and got a page with the same error message. Is there anything I have missed here? Btw, I had opened up http://localhost/w/index.php/Linux_Wiki in Google Chrome prior to the shortening attempt without issue, if you're wondering whether this was a pre-existing problem. Sabayon if you are unfamiliar is a Gentoo derivative.
