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.
That sounds pretty weird... Could you post the rewrite rules?
I notice it does the same thing for other pages w/ namespaces:
http://aiwiki.quay.net/w/wiki.phtml?title=Aikiwiki:Naming_Conventions
http://aiwiki.quay.net/wiki/Aikiwiki:Naming_Conventions
which makes me suspicious it's something about the colon.
Thanks for your help guys! Also an unrelated
question, what is the
difference
between sysop and developer permissions?
'Developer' used to have some special abilities like read/write SQL
access through Special:Asksql. It's been decided that's just too
dangerous to run over unencrypted HTTP, so it's been taken out.
'developer' now provides only:
Special:Debug -- runs phpinfo()
Special:Lockdb -- set the global read-only lock
Special:Unlockdb -- unset the global read-only lock
These can be done manually as well, so may eventually get phased out
entirely.
