Hi there,
I have installed on my NAS Mediawiki. With PHP 5 and Mediawiki 1.16.2. The database is Mysql 4.0 with unicode support.
After I converted the XML file into a SQL dump with mwdumper and all imported.
Then I called on the Mediawiki directory in my web browser. The browser then redirects me to the page on en.wikipedia.org. I think that's stored somewhere en.wikipedia.org home page.
Now my question how I could change that, that I when I load the mediawiki directory to get the data stored in the page.
Please help me
Yours sincerely,
Alexander S.
Someone once asked, "Why can't we just have one law making all crimes illegal." A capital idea.
I think you've hit on a similar solution for individual wiki installs - so I now suggest that everybody's wiki simply point to en.wikipedia.org!

Well,
According to various tutorials that I found on the Internet, this problem only occurs on some Linux solutions. A friend of mine has done the same on a Windows machine and not have these problems there.
Furthermore, it should even be possible to forward to the startpage in the database.(I hope that the site exists in the database) If this is not possible, I hope that the possibility exists to forward to the search page of Wikipedia.
I know no other way to access wikipedia than through the Startpage. But it is a case please tell me.

I think the problem is that you don't have the namespaces configured correctly. By default, there's an interwiki of 'wikipedia' pointing to English wikipedia. As the German wikipedia main page is Wikipedia:Hauptseite, you get that odd redirect.
Remove the wikipedia entry from the interwiki table. You should now be able to browse to the pages without getting redirected to English wikipedia. If you didn't have $wgMetaNamespace set to 'Wikipedia', set it so that the pages are found (I think that mwdumper will have correctly put Wikipedia:Hauptseite at Project:Hauptseite, other tools would have placed Wikipedia:Hauptseite at the main namespace).
That sounds like a solution. I will try it and report back here. Maybe you should make an FAQ entry because this problem occurs more often determined
