Howdy,

I've been experimenting with RewriteRules and LocalSettings.php to get rid of the "index.php" in the URL, but I'm running into unexpected problems.

The setup now seems to work using:

---- LocalSettings.php ---------------------------------- $wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScript = $wgScriptPath . "/index.php"; ---------------------------------------------------------

"Seems", because there is a strange balance between Apache and PHP keeping the "index.php" most of the time out of the URL. The correct setup would be:

---- LocalSettings.php ---------------------------------- $wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScript = ""; ---------------------------------------------------------

but this causes an infinite "Error 302 Moved Temporarily" loop (Using Firefox, Apache 2.0.52, Squid 2.5 and Mediawiki 1.3.8) for the URL in the script tag on each page:

<script src="?title=-&amp;action=raw&amp;gen=js&amp;smaxage=0" type="text/javascript"></script>

It looks like the empty $wgScript causes the mayhem in the function getLocalURL() in Title.php (via Skin.php and SkinPHPTal.php). The code looks sensible, though.

My RewriteRules look like this:

---- httpd.conf ----------------------------------------- RewriteEngine On

# Redirect old /wiki/ urls RewriteRule ^/wiki/(.*)$ http://www.rapdict.org/$1 [R,L]

RewriteRule ^/index.php/(.*)$ http://www.rapdict.org/$1 [R,L]

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

# Rewrite http://wiki.domain.tld/article properly, this is the main rule RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA] ---------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know how to counter the infinite 302 loop for that script URL?

Greetings,

Patrick
