After the configuration process, I moved the local settings file to main wiki directory as specified (http://www.mindvector.dreamhost.com/wiki/), and followed the link from the configuration screen. Instead of the wiki as expected, I recieved a 404 error in IE. Using Mozilla I went to the wiki directory, and found that http://www.mindvector.dreamhost.com/wiki/ was redirected to http://www.mindvector.dreamhost.com/wiki/index.php/Wiki/index.php and the message "No input file specified." is displayed.

An extra "/index.php" is being appended to your URLs for reasons unknown. Another Dreamhost user reported the same problem: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-March/000231.html

My suggestion, which doesn't seem to have fixed it completely: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-March/000248.html

I can only assume there's something funny about Dreamhost's Apache or PHP configuration, but I'm not sure what it is... :(

I've poked at it a little bit more...

You can get it to bring up an edit page like so: http://www.mindvector.dreamhost.com/wiki/index.php? title=Pagename&action=edit

but it thinks it's editing "Wiki/index.php" instead of the requested "Pagename". I'm not sure why, but it looks like the PATH_INFO is coming out all wrong.

Try setting this in LocalSettings: $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1";

and remove these lines from index.php: if( isset( $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] ) ) { $title = substr( $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 1 ); } else { $title = $_REQUEST['title']; }

See if that helps...
