I know this is more of an apache question, but it should be a slam-dunk and I am stuck.. I am trying to get short URLs working. I've configured mod-rewrite before on other systems and I can't find anything wrong with any of the various setups I've tried, but mod_rewrite is being ignored. Here's my mediawiki setup: Alias /mediawiki /var/lib/mediawiki <Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/> Options +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> # some directories must be protected <Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/config> Options -FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/upload> Options -FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> This works fine, except that I have long URLs in the form of http://newmoon.seiner.lan/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page I would really like http://newmoon.seiner.lan/wiki/Main_Page I've tried root@NewMoon:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# cat rewrite.conf <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L] RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log" RewriteLogLevel 5 </IfModule> and various other places. If I take out the Alias in the mediawiki file, I get 404 errors. Nothing is written in the rewrite log. But if I intentionally break the rewrite.conf, I get an error, so I know apache is reading it, but it is not rewriting the URL ever. I've tried adding the rewrite rules in /var/www/.htaccess, /var/lib/mediawiki/.htaccess, no joy. Any hints on where I can look?
