Aha. IIS. Now, I've had a similar problem before. Open
LocalSettings.php and find the lines like:

# If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs
$wgArticle = "$wgScriptPath/index.php/$1";
#$wgArticle = "$wgScriptPath/index.php?title=$1"

Comment the first line (the "pretty" URLs) and uncomment the second
("ugly URLs"). Something tells me this might sort the problem out.

I have pasted the text into LocalSettings.php, as suggested. Then moved it from the config folder into the wiki root folder. And now I have no idea, what's next? If I go to that server in my browser, the URL's transformed into http://server/index.php/Main_Page, and I get the HTTP 404 page. How can I create the very first page? What should be its name and where should I place it? Or is there some configuration step missing?
