I decided to go with the '"short" URL option using redirection in my Apache server. Following the FAQ instructions I added the appropriate lines to httpd.conf:
AcceptPathInfo On
Alias /wiki "/var/www/html/pubwiki/index.php" Alias /index.php "/var/www/html/pubwiki/index.php"
I modified my LocalSettings.php to refer to my "alias" as the ArticlePath, and I modified the script paths:
# The *real* directory $wgScriptPath = "/pubwiki"; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php";
# The *pseudo* path seen in the URL $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
While the URL seems to work and my pages load properly (after clearing the cache), when someone logs in they cannot access their "preferences" page. It continues to see them as "not logged in". In fact, the upper right corner of the page reports them as anonymous (ip address, "please log in", etc.) even though they can click on 'edit' and it records their ID.
What am I missing in all this? Why isn't this working?
Cookie path?

That's a thought and I tried changing it but to no avail. Should it be set to the pseudo-path (/wiki) or the real directory (/pubwiki), or nothing?

Both. Requests are made to either dir (/wiki for views, /pubwiki for edits).
Also check that PHP's sessioning works. If there are several servers, or otherwise multiple session dirs, you will need to make sure PHP uses the same one always.
