I have installed MediaWiki 1.5 (hoping to solve the problem I encountered with MW 1.4.9) but the problem is still there: Entering any search term (yes, more than three letters) does not provide any results at all, but the response is stupid: "There are 0 results, starting with #417511". (The displayed ## vary, though.) The MW URL is http://www.detroitinfo.de/wiki PHP is run by my webhost in safe mode, but I have never read anywhere that this would cause a problem with the search function (I´m aware that the upload function will not work with the safe mode and am fine with that). I´ve been doing web search on this issue for many hours but came up empty. Another MW admin sent me the following information which worked for him: Quote: The problem was having configured the rewrite rules in the wrong way. Change the rewrite rules to use "path syntax" instead of "parameter syntax": <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE RewriteRule .* - [F] RewriteRule ^/wiki/?(.*)$ /mediawiki/index.php/$1 [QSA,L] </IfModule> End Quote. My understanding is that I would have to start rewrite with a .htaccess file, but would I not have to modify the localsettings.php first to accomodate this? Moreover, my installation directory is "/wiki" in my server´s /html base directory, what modifications in syntax would I have to make? I´m not even sure where, i.e. in which directory the .htaccess file would need to be placed. If that is not the cause, what else could it be? Certain chmod for a directory? That would result in no search result page being displayed at all, would it not? I´m quite frustrated since I´ve been able to install the MW, get the SQL database up and all the other stuff and now this darn search function just won´t work. I don´t know about the inner works of PHP, MySQL and stuff, so if there´s anyone who can give me a hand on this stupid problem, I´d really appreciate any hint!
