hi,
we switched from the source package to Debians one. We had a structure
like:
http://www.foo.org/index.php/page
Debians version has:
http://www.foo.org/mediawiki/index.php/page
so, my problem is now, that nearly every "hard" link is now broken. I
want to fix these links with mod_rewrite, but i'm not sure how. I know
the page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL but i don't get
it. We have also installed mailman and some more in the same way, so
that i can't redirect easy all to the mediwiki/ folder.
So, what i want, is that every "hard URL" works, like before. One way
were to suppress the mediawiki/ folder or, redirect from the URL without
mediawiki/, to the correct page, _with_ mediawiki/
any suggestions?
cu denny
What about telling apache that the root folder is the mediawiki/ one?
Remember to change $wgArticlePath and $wgScriptPath at
LocalSettings.php, so MediaWiki expects to be called as /index.php/page
However, I do recommend against using debian packages for mediawiki.
Mediawiki is php, so there aren't binary versions, the debian package
usually:
*Are outdated.
*Break the normal configuration in odd ways.
*Which in turn, makes harder to help you.
And MediaWiki does a very good job installing directly. :)
