Manual talk:Short URL/Page title -- Aliasing method--Root access

I think you need to update the version number in the athes given to the latest MediaWiki version (=From 8 to 11 at this date)

Other way
The method is the same, the directories could be different, ie I installed mediawiki (folder cidewiki) in my localhost within all my projects, so the directory for my wiki is /var/www/cidewiki. My LocalSettings.php file:

$wgScript = "/cidewiki"; $wgArticleScript = "/cidewiki/$1";

And the Apache 2 configuration file:

  Alias /cidewiki/skins /var/www/cidewiki/skins Alias /cidewiki/index.php /var/www/cidewiki/index.php Alias /cidewiki /var/www/cidewiki/index.php  Options -Indexes  

This is the way that worked for me, but it's because my server configuration and distribution of my projects.
