Hi All,
I'm trying to run MediaWiki 1.16.5 for the first time on Windows 7.
Before uploading MediaWiki on the apache server, I downloaded the pre-requisites: -
Wampserver: Apache Version: 2.2.17
PHP Version: 5.3.4
MySQL Version: 5.1.53
After installing & starting the apache service, I can access localhost:
http://127.0.0.1/. However, I can't access
http://localhost/wiki/index.php, I get the
error: The requested URL /wiki/index.php was not found on this server.
This is after I copied Mediawiki folder to the directory:
/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.17/htdocs/.
I have checked the forums for solutions but to no avail. These are the following changes
that I have made so far based on the suggestions on the forums:
- I added localSettings.php in the Mediawiki root - I didn't have it before. I then
edited the contents of this file as follows: changed the line
$wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; to $wgScriptPath = ;
- Changed contents of the .htaccess to read: RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
- Changed the contents of httpd.php file as follows: <Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
Can Mediawiki run on Windows 7? What am I missing? What do I still need to configure?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.Kamo
