Thread:Project:Support desk/Short URLs just will not work.../reply (7)

And $wgUsePathInfo is set to ...?

I would try with something like the following. Note that currently you have your wiki files installed in the web root directly. This is not recommended. Instead, you should move all the wiki files and folders into a subfolder, e.g. called "wiki". That is what $wgScriptPath has to point at.

// Path to your wiki files $wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; // Structure of the article path. $wgArticlePath = "/$1";

If you get an "Internal error" page saying "Redirect loop detected!" after you finish configuration you may be using something other than mod_php. If so you need to explicitly turn on short urls using the following line in your LocalSettings.php:

$wgUsePathInfo = true;

In any case, even when the short URLs do not work yet, you will still be able to call your wiki through the index.php file like so: index.php?title=Main_Page. Then check the tab "Page" to see, if MediaWiki basically creates the structure of the article path the way you want to. Once that is done you can configure .htaccess so that this kind of links gets redirected properly.
