Thread:Project:Support desk/MediaWiki 1.5 to 1.21 upgrade/reply (21)

i created a .htaccess file in /var/www/

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L] RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L]
 * 1) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache
 * 2) Enable the rewrite engine
 * 1) Short url for wiki pages
 * 1) Redirect / to Main Page

this sorted it :)

Wiki is now fully updated and running as expected.

Thanks to all who helped.
