Manual talk:Short URL/Page title -- Aliasing method--Root access

From MediaWiki.org

I think you need to update the version number in the athes given to the latest MediaWiki version (=From 8 to 11 at this date)

[edit] Other way

The method is the same, the directories could be different, ie I installed mediawiki (folder cidewiki) in my localhost within all my projects, so the directory for my wiki is /var/www/cidewiki. My LocalSettings.php file:

$wgScript = "/cidewiki";
$wgArticleScript = "/cidewiki/$1";

And the Apache 2 configuration file:

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
   Alias /cidewiki/skins /var/www/cidewiki/skins
   Alias /cidewiki/index.php /var/www/cidewiki/index.php
   Alias /cidewiki /var/www/cidewiki/index.php
   <Directory /var/www/cidewiki>
      Options -Indexes
   </Directory>
</IfModule>

This is the way that worked for me, but it's because my server configuration and distribution of my projects.

[edit] All good but edit-links do not work properly

Hello, until now this is the best working method for me so far. All other ways i tried on my WAMP 2.0 did cause much more error. But i still have a problem: Editlinks do not work, because they do not point to:

http://mywikiserver/News_Of_Today/March_2008?title=News_Of_Today/March_2008&action=edit

but to

''http://mywikiserver/Main_Page?title=News_Of_Today/March_2008&action=edit.

This causes wiki to open the editfunction of Main_Page but not to create a new page called News_Of_Today/March_2008.

How can i resolve this issue? i guess this requires only a little finetuning.

thanks in advance
kind regards

Now I added the following to LocalSettings.php:

#short urls
$wgScriptPath       = "";
$wgScript           = "";
$wgArticlePath      = "$wgScript?title=$1";

this fixes the above issue with the edit links. The URL in browser now shows something like: http://mywikiserver/?title=Main_Page. Everything works fine, but how can i finally remove the part ?title=
Any clues?

thanks in advance

kind regards
