I used this method, it works, but wglogo doesnt work then, why? 79.67.200.185 09:54, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

It works for me only without a leading slash in the regex:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/?title=$1 [L,QSA]

instead of

RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php/?title=$1 [L,QSA]

Please use the directives

RewriteLog logs/blah-blah.log
RewriteLogLevel 9

to debug your rewrite rules.

Problem with PNG-Images[edit]

I used this code and it works but now I've got a case sensitive problem with PNG-images. JPG-Files use the path "images/...", PNG-Files "/Images/..." and are not found on UNIX/Linux. I used this as workaround, but I think there should be a better solution:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Images/
RewriteRule ^Images/(.*)$ /images/$1 [L,QSA]

Works with regular pages, but does not work with Specialpages[edit]

After customizing my wiki like this i found out that it works great with regular pages (even editing pages and creating new pages does work), but when i try to display a specialpage (or the list of specialpages) it shows me HTTP 403 Error (Forbidden). Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue?

Thanks in Advance

After a couple of tests i found out this error appears whenever a page includes a colon (":") like Template:Matrix or Special:Allpages. So this probalbly relates to the rewrite rules, but how to edit them to avoid this error?
