hi, i'm having a problem changing the spacing between paragraphs. i tried putting p {margin-bottom: 1.5em} in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] but nothing changed. (i tried different em values too) so i looked at the source code of a page to see where common.css is included, and tried navigating directly to that link the link contains "action=raw", but when i navigate to it i get the same thing as when i navigate to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] rather than the raw text. so that might be why the code isn't working, but i don't know why it's doing that. i also tried putting the css code at the bottom of shared.css, but nothing happened there either. i'm using MediaWiki 1.14.0, php 5.2.0, and abyss x1 as my webserver.

the default skin, whichever that is (monobook, i gather?) the wiki can be found at http://inhahe.kicks-ass.net:8000 whenever my computer's up (it's not down very often)

You're getting the "Raw pages must be accessed through the primary script entry point." error, despite using ugly urls. http://inhahe.kicks-ass.net:8000/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=raw should *never* be giving that error. Are you doing some kind of url rewriting?

nope! nothing of the kind, that i know of. i haven't done any hacking of it at all. pretty much set it up in the most basic straightforward manner possible.

actually, i've never done url rewriting so i'm not exactly sure what it is. i can't speak for what abyss webserver does or doesn't do, but i certainly haven't told it to do any url rewriting

ok, so i put this in the first line of index.php: $fh = fopen("debug.txt","a"); fwrite($fh, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . "\n"); then i went to http://localhost:8000/index.php?title=Main_Page here's what went into debug.txt: /index.php?title=Main_Page /index.php?title=MediaWiki:Print.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000 /index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000 /index.php?title=MediaWiki:Monobook.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text%2Fcss&smaxage=18000&action=raw&maxage=18000 /index.php?title=-&action=raw&maxage=18000&smaxage=0&ts=20090614214425&gen=css /index.php?title=-&action=raw&smaxage=0&gen=js&useskin=monobook then i went to http://inhahe.kicks-ass.net:8000/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=raw and here's what it put in debug.txt /index.php?title=Main_Page&action=raw so i guess abyss isn't doing anything weird to it..
