Hi All!
I'm trying to get a MediaWiki implementation running over here:
http://aikiwiki.quay.net/ and everything seems to be OK, except for one problem.
I've got mod_rewrite running on Apache (v1.3.27 -- I have to leave it at 1.3
for now due to unrelated problems with another app) and it seems to have no
trouble rewriting (for example)
http://aikiwiki.quay.net/wiki/Ueshiba_Morihei
but as soon as I modify "$wgArticlePath" from "{$wgScript}?title=$1"
to
"/wiki/$1" I can no longer access any of the "Special" pages such as
"http://aikiwiki.quay.net/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Preferences" instead the
link goes to "http://aikiwiki.quay.net/wiki/Special:Preferences" and it's
treated like an empty article.
I'm pretty sure that I just have something configured wrongly on my system, but
I'm at a loss as to what it might be... any suggestions?
Here's the content of my "LocalSettings.php" file:
--- begin ---
<?
# Local settings work like this: the file LocalSettings.sample
# should be copied to LocalSettings.php in the source directory
# and edited for your local file system settings and software
# configuration preferences. The install script will copy it to
# the installation path, but a copy should also remain in the
# source tree so that maintenance scripts can refer to it (you
# may want to make it a symbolic link after installation). Do
# not check LocalSettings.php into CVS! It is different for
# every installation, and must not be overridden.
# The most important setting is here: $IP is the installation
# path for the software.
#
$IP = "/my/path/to/mediawiki/w";
if ( ! isset( $DP ) ) { $DP = $IP; }
include_once( "$DP/DefaultSettings.php" );
# You can customize a lot of URLs and paths, but you will
# almost certainly want to customize the following. The
# ArticlePath one is especially useful if you want to use
# mod_redirect to make page-viewing URLs look static.
#
$wgSitename = "Aikiwiki";
$wgServer = "http://aikiwiki.quay.net";
#$wgArticlePath = "{$wgScript}?title=$1";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgEmergencyContact = "aikiwiki(a)quay.net".net";
$wgLogo = "/images/aikiwiki.gif";
# MySQL settings
#
$wgDBserver = "localhost";
$wgDBuser = "user";
$wgDBname = "wiki";
$wgDBpassword = "somepass";
$wgDBsqlpassword = "anotherpass";
$wgDBminWordLen = 3; # Match this to your MySQL fulltext
$wgDBtransactions = false; # Set to true if using InnoDB tables
# This code is still slightly experimental. Turn it off if "What links here"
# and similar stuff does not work.
$wgUseBetterLinksUpdate=true;
# Turn this on during database maintenance
# $wgReadOnly = true;
# Turn this on to get HTML debug comments
# $wgDebugComments = true;
# If you want a non-English wiki, add a line like this
# $wgLanguageCode = "de";
$wgUseTeX = false;
$wgLocalInterwiki = "w";
$wgInputEncoding = "ISO-8859-1";
$wgOutputEncoding = "ISO-8859-1";
# Extremely high-traffic wikis may want to disable
# some database-intensive features here:
#
# $wgDisableTextSearch = true;
# $wgDisableCounters = true;
# $wgMiserMode = true;
?>
--- end ---
Thanks for your help guys! Also an unrelated question, what is the difference
between sysop and developer permissions?
cheers,
Gabe
