Thanks for the tip, Jamie.  That didn't appear to help though :(

# grep ^"\$wgScriptPath" ../LocalSettings.php
$wgScriptPath       = "";
# php rebuildall.php
** Rebuilding fulltext search index (if you abort this will break  
searching; run this script again to fix):
Dropping index...
Rebuilding index fields for 946 pages...

500
Rebuild the index...


** Rebuilding recentchanges table:
Loading from CUR table...
Loading from OLD table...
Updating links...


** Rebuilding links tables -- this can take a long time. It should be  
safe to about via ctrl+C if you get bored.
Refreshing link table.
Starting from cur_id 1 of 946.

If I point a browser to the main page and click on any links off the  
main page, I still get a URL with /mediawiki in it:

https://wiki.ebit.ca:443/mediawiki/index.php/EBit_Networks

Am I running the script incorrectly?  I put my mysql root user and  
password in the AdminSettings.php to be on the safe side incase the  
other user didn't have the access.
