This is what my URL looks like... http://en.somedomain.com/index.php/Main_Page I want it to look like http://en.somedomain.com http://en.somedomain.com/ if that is possible. Mostly I just want to get rid of the index.php in the URL.

In your root, you install your MediaWiki in /w/ In your root, you put a .htaccess with the rules indicated in the doc (or in Apache conf, if you can/know how to do that) Set $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; in LocalSettings.php

It should work.

Is it supposed to work also for a (hosted) install in /w/ in a sub-domain? ( like "edit.somedomain.org/w/ ). That is, does "root" in the example above apply also when the root directory is "edit.somedomain.org" ?

I never got it to work either, although I tried so many things according to the instructions on meta. There must be something missing in the text - or inside my head...
