Thread:Project:Support desk/Short URLs

My installation looks like /var/www/mediawiki-1.20.2/.... thus the URLs look like http://localhost/mediawiki-1.20.2/index.php/Main_Page.

I would like to have URLs like http://localhost/MyWikiName/

The guide for short URL (rewrite in Apache config) and $wgArticlePath did not help me. I guess I did the Apache config wrongly, among other issues the file rewrite.conf is missing in my Apache2 installation.

I have root access to Apache2.

Any ideas?
