[Mediawiki-l] rewrite and Main_Page failure on IE

Fri Nov 5 13:34:49 UTC 2004

Hello,

at the moment I'm trying to get rewriting to work. although, there seems
to be a problem.

when i open //domain.tld/wiki -> it rewrites to //domain.tld/wiki/
and therefore opens //domain.tld/wiki/Main_Page

when i open this site in Mozilla there is nothing wrong... everything
works. but when I try in IE, I get the Main_Page without any stylesheet.
for some reason it tries to resolve these from: /stylesheets/ instead of
/wiki/stylesheets/. when i change the page name to Main_Pag it does open
correctly with stylesheets from /wiki/stylesheets/

in mozilla the page reads:
Retrieved from "<a
href="http://home.survion.com/wiki/Main_Page">http://home.survion.com/wiki/Main_Page</a>"

in IE the same page reads:
Retrieved from "<a
href="http://home.survion.com//wiki/Main_Page">http://home.survion.com//wiki/Main_Page</a>"

acces.log output:

and when I try to open a different page in IE, it reads:
Retrieved from "<a
href="http://home.survion.com/wiki/Main_Pag">http://home.survion.com/wiki/Main_Pag</a>"

and the access.log output:

the following is in the vhost-domain.tld.conf (part of the full apache

and this is in the LocalSettings.php from mediawiki:
$wgScriptPath       = "/wiki";
$wgScript           = "$wgScriptPath/";
$wgRedirectScript   = "redirect.php";
$wgArticlePath      = "$wgScript$1";
$wgStylePath        = "$wgScriptPath/stylesheets";
$wgStyleDirectory   = "$IP/stylesheets";
$wgLogo             = "$wgStylePath/images/wiki.png";
$wgUploadPath       = "$wgScriptPath/images";
$wgUploadDirectory  = "$IP/images";

does anyone have an idea of what might go wrong? this is a IE only matter
as it seems... any help would be appreciated.

greets,

Gerard
