Thread:Extension talk:VisualEditor/URL /w/api.php not found

I have installed MediaWiki 1.24alpha from git master, and parsiod from the parsiod debian repository

The VisualEditor extension appears to be set up correctly, and passes the request to parsiod, but I get a 500 error back in the browser, and the following in the parsiod log:

[warning][null/Main_Page] non-200 response: 404 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> 404 Not Found <*h1>Not Found <*p>The requested URL /w/api.php was not found on this server. <*hr> Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at localhost Port 80

I am not sure why `/w/api.php` is being referenced, as the `api.php` is in the root.

Any ideas?
