Thread:Project:Support desk/trouble creating new pages

So for some reason the only way that I can create a new page on my wiki is by searching for it and then clicking on the red link that appears. Whenever I try to type in the desired address into the address bar and it just tells me that the page doesn't exist. The same thing happens when I create a link to the new page and click on it. I am thinking that it might be an issue with the files not being directly in the root directory, they are in a file called mediawiki-1.16.0 which is inside the root directory. When I do put the file directly in the root directory though I am given error saying that certain files don't exist when they actually do. If anyone has any advice at all it would be appreciated. Thanks
