Translations:Manual:LocalSettings.php/3/en

The LocalSettings.php file is not a wiki page and you cannot access it with your web browser. Instead, it is a file in the file system of the server. Its contents are generated during the initial setup of the wiki and the resulting file must be copied on the server manually. The file must be located in the folder you installed MediaWiki into, on the same level with folders like "includes/" or "skins/" and files like "api.php". If this file is not there, the wiki will not work at all - if the wiki does work, the file is there. If you do not know where it is, you can run this command  on the UNIX shell to make your server show you where the file actually is.
