Manual talk:Short URL/sub directory/wiki/Page Title -- .htaccess

leaves "index.php" in call...
not sure why. on MAMP - latest version for MAC OS X... still trouble shooting...

can't get this to work
Running on HostGator with MW 1.13.3.

I can't seem to get this to work. My wiki software is actually located in example.com/dir1/wikisoftware and I am trying to shorten the url to example.com/dir1/wiki - I can't seem to be able to do this using these instructions, but I can shorten it to example.com/wiki without any issues whatsoever.

I'm not sure if this is a limitation of HostGator's Apache implementation or if I am doing something wrong, but that's how it works out for me....

where do I find public_html directory
where do I find this public_html directory? as far as .htaccess file is concerned I found a number of them in my mediawiki installed path. ./var/www/mediawiki/math/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/maintenance/archives/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/maintenance/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/languages/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/tests/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/serialized/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/includes/.htaccess ./var/www/mediawiki/t/.htaccess

Which of these have I to edit?
