[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki link problem following install process

[john.struthers at agilent.com]

Hi Rob:

Many thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the change to the LocalSettings file didn't work. However, the problem was fixed by moving the MediaWiki app over to a web server running Linux. It previously resided on a server running HP-UX.

Nip into your LocalSettings.php, find the two lines that control URL
styling; I bet you've got the "pretty" (i.e. /index.php/PageName)
naming chosen. Comment out that line, and uncomment the line which
uses the uglier looking URL style (something like
/index.php?page=PageName)

This has worked for me before, although it may not solve this
particular problem.
