Hello,
We moved our site to a new server. The previous MediaWiki install was
from the 1.4.x series. On the new server I installed 1.12.x.
I am trying to log into the old server's Wiki, but I keep getting
redirected to our domain name. I would like to stay on the old server
(which is not under our domain name anymore).
What I mean, is that I am typing our old server's IP address in the
web browser "http://XX.XX.XX.XX/MediaWiki/", but I am getting
forwarded to "http://www.ourwebsite.com/MediaWiki/index.php"
Is there a way to force MediaWiki to stay on the server and forward me
to "http://XX.XX.XX.XX/MediaWiki/index.php")?
After reading the documentation I tried using $wgServer and
$wgServerName variables and setting those both to XX.XX.XX.XX
$wgServer = 'http://66.29.53.175';
$wgServerName = 'http://66.29.53.175';
Unfortunately it did not work. I am still getting forwarded to our
domain name.
How could I access our old MW install on the old server?
Thank you,
Andras
The easiest would be to locally set your domain to the old ip (hosts
file). So the server wouldn't detect you were accesing by a different
domain it's expecting you to.
