The crappy forwarding scheme is your problem
Every other software I've installed on my system:
Pagetool
TikiWiki
ActivePHPBookmarks
Nucleus
MovableType
WordPress
Have ALL been able to handle this "crappy forwarding scheme" just fine.
Media Wiki is the only one that hasn't. The forwarding system is
actually quite robust, it is simply a frame, nothing else. It can
handle metatags. The reason I use it is too complex to explain, but
many people use such systems, whether because they share hosting with
other people, use subdomains, wish to remain able to easily change
hosts, etc. That is why all the above software have provisions to allow
people to do just that.
But all I'm asking is for some help understanding WHY it isn't working.
You've been very helpful so far, but obviously you don't wish to help
any more. That's fine. But maybe someone else might know why the forms
aren't working. Absolute URLs, with the proper domain will all work as
if they were on the host domain. I like MediaWiki, and you have all
been very helpful up to now. But now I seem to be getting a Micro$oft
type of reply: if the software doesn't work the way you want, change
how you do things. That isn't why I use open source software!
I'm not much of a programmer, so if hacking the forms is truly too
complicated, I may just have to give up. But I'd like to give it a try.
Thanks again!
