[Mediawiki-l] Installation issue:'http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page"

[Arthur Guy]

The problem you are having is with Ugly URL's vs. Nice URL's, you need to
convert your setup to Ugly URL's.
The first section in LocalSettings.php relates to this, if you can figure it
(comment out one line and bring in another) out you can try a search for
Ugly URL's in the documentation.

The one thing I found trying to run a wiki with IIS was the time it took
process php pages, as soon as I switched to Apace (on widows) the site got
about 3 times faster.

Hi Brion,

Thanks for the quick response!

Before shifting to Apache, I'll have a quick go at getting it running under 
IIS.

It would be useful to know at least the basics of how an initial call to 
index.php
gets redirected to index.php/Main_Page. I have a development background, so 
I can plough through the PHP source code, but a little prod in the right 
direction
would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Graham
