hi,
i have nearly got it to work, except search is not working. i have
tried different combinations of rewritrules, but to no avail. what i
use is given below, based on the entry in meta.wikipedia. obviously
i don't know mod_rewrite well enough to go much beyond.
i am using mediawiki 1.3.1 installed in /wiki/. the .htaccess file
is in /wiki/.
The LocalSettings.php variables are:
$wgScriptPath = "/wiki";
$wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php";
$wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php";
$wgArticlePath = "$wgScriptPath/$1";
Thanks in advance for your help.
saurav
