[Mediawiki-l] Trying to remove hostname from URLs

[George Stevens]

Isn't it always the way these things work out?  We found the solution
soon after posting, and it's a nice clean and simple one too:

	[{{Server}}/path/to/app | Application Name]

There are _page_environment_variables_ available to wiki pages.  Here is
a link to the variables page:

	http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Variable

I think we missed it the several times we tried getting information
because we were looking for 'environment' or 'page environment' and the
TOC in the manual just has 'Variable' as the section name, which seems
meaningless.  A better name would be something like "Page Environment
Variables".

Thanks to David and Jan for the replies.

George

Actually you have :)
And I'm afraid this is it.

See: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_Rules

There's a lot of complex MW/PHP/Apache interaction so it's the only 
answer I can think of.
