Thread:Project:Support desk/Do you have a filesystem snapshot of a working wiki with short URLs working? Thanks.

Does anyone have a complete filesystem copy for a working Mediawiki on Apache 2.4 with Short URLs working? This can be either using the "root access" method or the ".htaccess" method.

I have spent a lot of time trying to get short URLs working but without success. I would like to be able to see a tar or equivalent image of a working Mediawiki and Apache install which I can examine line by line to see what has been changed.

Most of the install guides I have read don't make it clear exactly what files they are editing and in what directories. (E.g. Is the wiki install location "w" a real directory, or a symlink from /var/www/html, or just a virtual value that never exists in the filesystem? Should the site be configured in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled or /etc/apache2/sites-enabled? Should I edit 000-default.conf or add a new file? Etc Etc.) I have looked for images on Amazon EC2 but there don't appear to be any that are a close match.

I'm running: Mediawiki 1.24.0, Apache 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, PHP 5.5.9, MySQL 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

Thank you for any help.
