I just updated my wiki from using CGI on a shared web server with urls like this: http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bubble_sort

To a new private server with short urls: http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/Bubble_sort

The problem is, all of my inbound traffic from search is getting forwarded from here: http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bubble_sort

to here: http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/index.php

which has no content.

I used the recommended set up described here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL

Any idea what I should do to forward search engine visitors to the right location?

1. Install mediawiki on /wiki/ folder and place the short urls with a different prefix. Just that will allow your visitors to see the content.

2. Make .htaccess redirect (301) ^index.php?title=[^&]*$ to the desired short url.
