I just upgraded my Wiki http://wiki.oxus.net from 1.3.x to 1.4.x. Everything went fine, with one major problem: I no longer have the same URL structure I used to have. Before my site urls looked like this:
http://wiki.oxus.net/Main_Page
now they look like this:
http://wiki.oxus.net/index.php/Main_Page
I tried following the instructions on this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_a_very_short_URL
But they do not work. It seems that the problem is that I am using a virtual host/commercial server which is still using Apache 1.3.x not 2.x. I even tried using the "kludge" method on the page, but it did not work.
I did some searching but couldn't find any solution that works with Apache 1.3.x, so I thought I'd write to the group to see if anywone has figured out a work around?
Please write to me off-list at oxusnet+software [at] gmail.com.
Thanks for your help.

I strongly recommend against this, as it pollutes your URL namespace and may create conflicts. You should always put your rewrite area in a virtual directory.
now they look like this:
That's the default. Did you throw away your old LocalSettings.php?

Is that the same as what you did before?

The rewrite configuration would be exactly the same on 1.3.x and 2.0.x so far as I know.
