Manual talk:Short URL/sub directory/wiki/Page Title -- .htaccess

leaves "index.php" in call...

not sure why. on MAMP - latest version for MAC OS X... still trouble shooting...

can't get this to work

Running on HostGator with MW 1.13.3.

I can't seem to get this to work. My wiki software is actually located in example.com/dir1/wikisoftware and I am trying to shorten the url to example.com/dir1/wiki - I can't seem to be able to do this using these instructions, but I can shorten it to example.com/wiki without any issues whatsoever.

I'm not sure if this is a limitation of HostGator's Apache implementation or if I am doing something wrong, but that's how it works out for me....

seems this code expects the .htaccess file to be in the root. If it is in the wikimedia directory then try this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ /dir1/wikisoftware/index.php?title=$1 [NC,L]

can't get this to work - fixed

Chris example didn't worked out for me. This is the solution I found with .htaccess in the wiki folder:

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dir1/wikisoftware/index.php?title=$1 [NC,L]

where do I find public_html directory

where do I find this public_html directory? as far as .htaccess file is concerned I found a number of them in my mediawiki installed path. ./var/www/mediawiki/math/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/maintenance/archives/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/maintenance/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/languages/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/tests/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/serialized/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/includes/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/t/.htaccess

Which of these have I to edit?

public_html is a convention; in your case, the Web root will be /var/www. —Emufarmers^(T|C) 21:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Help configuring the short URLs ||

Hi,

my website is http://www.italien.ch

i'd like that 3 different URLs for the article:

• http://www.italien.ch/de/Sandbox (main path)
• http://www.italien.ch/wiki/Sandbox

How do I that?
