Hello,
I wondered why you must use ugly URLs with the CGI module...?
In most cases, the additional PATH_INFO bit doesn't work with PHP in CGI mode.
All kinds of ugly loops and breakage result.
If you really know it works, you can poke around and change it.
Also, I wondered how the rewrite $wgArticlePath =
"$wgScriptPath/$1"
works.... When I pull up an article in my wiki I use the url
index.php/ArticleName, however, I have never written a rewrite rule so I am
unsure how Apache knows to rewrite "$wgScriptPath/$1" into
"$wgScript?title=$1".
There's an entire document dedicated to such topics; see the MediaWiki FAQ.
(Link is in the README, the RELEASE-NOTES and can also be easily googled.)
