Thread:Project:Support desk/MediaWiki installation and Short URLs/reply (2)

AKlapper,

I renamed mediawiki.1.23.1 (which is the folder name after downloading the tar.gz from mediawiki website) to "mediawiki", and yes I moved localsettings.php to the proper folder, my mistake I was typing while frustrated. But I moved my "Mediawiki" folder to /etc/. It does not matter where you place it, as long as you change where Apache points to. Having said that, the httpd.conf file exists but is a completely blank file. Apache.conf is the file I have been told is what needs editing. So to answer your question, no I have not made any edits to httpd.conf because the directions and everything else I have read specifically state that httpd.conf is no longer used with Apache.
