Hi All sorry my question may be funny, But I need your helps. I have installed mediawiki in one of the servers of the company that i work obviously it is in localhost of that server, now I want to know the URL I should use to access that mediawiki from our internal LAN. Would you please help me ? IT IS VERY URGENT FOR ME. Cheers Pamela

with due notes on me doing this a very long time ago and only once so this reply may contain errors

Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted and follow the link to the setup screen. It should be in the form http://%5Bdomain%5D/%5Bdirectory%5D/mw-config/index.php. Replace [directory] with the path to your extracted MediaWiki folder. If installed on a local machine, replace [domain] with localhost. If installed on a remote server, replace [domain] with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com). https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide
Here you do not need to use 'localhost' if you'd like other people in the lan to see the wiki. You need to use the [domain] (aka a local ip such as 10.1.1.17 or 192.168.1.23).
Or even better a local domain pointing to such local ip as it's easier to remember
you can find your local ip using 'ifconfig' or 'ipconfig' in your os commandline prompt

it may also work with localhost in the url for install script but when it asks what url is being used to access the wiki, you have to give it a proper non-'localhost' thing which other people can use. this is where links on wiki pages would point.
