Re: [Mediawiki-l] Changing the name of the front page, a few site/page name-related other questions.

Our front page won't be named "Main_Page", but "Welcome to...". Is there a way to change MW's "default" page? I'm guessing that moving the Main Page to the page name we want to show up would write in an automatic redirect, so that opening the site would open Main_Page, which would then redirect to "Welcome to..."--but I don't know for sure (and don't want to find out the hard way that it doesn't work!), and am also wondering if there's a "better" way. I poked around in the DefaultSettings.php and did searches on it, but the only hits I found weren't relevant. Also, a question that may or many not be relevant to MW, but since you're reading :-) . . . the entry URL for the site is currently http://www.myserver.com/site which opens up the main page. However, http://www.myserver.com shows the contents of the directory the holds the site directory. We certainly want that blocked, and if possible (since for the time being the wiki is the only thing that will be running at that site) would like a reference to http://www.myserver.com to automatically open the front page of the wiki. I've tried putting in a .htaccess denying all access into 'site''s parent directory (just copied the one in "maintenance") so that http://www.myserver.com/ would be blocked, but that doesn't seem to work--do I need to restart the Apache server? And is a redirect via .htaccess the simplest way to achieve the desired redirect from the site name to the wiki? As always, many thanks, Ken _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
