Do you have any vhost's setup for apache. That is
important especially if
you have multiple sites on the server.

works as it should when I use the actual IP address in my browser, but
dose not when I use the
http://www.physicswiki.net address in the
browser. i think that may be an issue with the apache set up on this
hosted site. As I said, this is my first attempt to manage a remote
site.

Well as I said this is wierd. I tried opening the web site with the
actual IP address and it all seems to work as far as the mediawiki
starting the configuration process. Strange huh, Now I have the Godaddy
DNS server set up to forward the name
www.physicswiki.net to the IP
address mentioned, with masking, and that seems to work OK, but there is
still a glitch, likely caused by my ignorance of how to set this all up.
Again, any tips or suggestions.
