MediaWiki 1.82 .htaccess method for wikis stored in subfolder of root
I have gotten Mediawiki Pretty URLs to work here at by using this configuration. I have my wiki in the wiki5 folder. I'm running, MediaWiki 1.82

Add to .htaccess

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

The above line directs all php files to processed using PHP5

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^muscatelli.info/wiki5 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.muscatelli.info/wiki5/$1 [r=301,L]
 * 1) Redirect http://muscatelli.info to http://www.muscatelli.info

Note: the above is used to redirect all addresses with the www removed to [www.muscatelli.info] to help Google Ranking and is not necessary for the code to work! Also note that my wiki is in the directory: wiki5

RewriteRule ^[^:]*\. - [L] RewriteRule ^[^:]*\/ - [L] RewriteRule ^/*$ /wiki5/index.php?title=Main_Page [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /wiki5/index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
 * 1) anything that contains a dot without a colon should be left alone
 * 1) anything that contains a slash without a colon should be left alone
 * 1) redirect to main page
 * 1) anything else is to be treated as a title
 * 1) anything that contains a slash is to be left alone.

Change in LocalSettings:

$wgArticlePath     = "$wgScriptPath/$1";

Rewrite Okay, recognition not
Heyho,

i have tried various rewrite methods now, including the one mentioned above. So, now the rewriting itself works fine, but the wiki refuses to notice the move (LocalSettings.php was modified too), instead keeps telling me that https://server_name/wiki/Main_Page could not be found. However, when manually entering index.php?Main_Page instead of just Main_Page it works fine again, so i assume the problem is limited to the wiki itself. Any ideas how to solve it?

Problems with post data
Hello,

I followed the directions in this article to create a short url using apache RewriteRules. Everything worked easily, except for the fact that I cannot seem to login to my wiki anymore. Whenever I attempt to login I am presented with the same login form, with my data erased. After digging into the code a little bit, I found that the post data is getting lost somewhere in the redirect. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, what steps did you take to overcome it? 66.194.253.20 20:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Couple of questions???
When I am trying the rewrite or the alias methods, What else should be in my .htaccess file besides what I am supposed to be adding? Should I put the .htaccess file in the public_html folder or public_html/w/ which is the folder I have the wiki in? When looking the the localsettings.php I see $wgScriptPath should I change = "/w"; or add the $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; I seem to be a little lost on this.

Trailing slash
I have a problem with the rewrite conditions when a page is accessed with a trailing slash. MediaWiki sees it as a different page - (Named Page/ instead of Page). What's the "right" way to get around this? Currently I'm doing a preg_replace on $GLOBALS[_REQUEST]['title'] in my LocalSettings.php, but this seems less than ideal.

~/web_root/.htaccess
Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]

~/web_root/LocalSettings.php
$wgArticlePath = "$wgScriptPath/$1"; $GLOBALS['_REQUEST']['title'] = preg_replace("/^(.+)\/$/", "$1", $GLOBALS['_REQUEST']['title']);

Slash "\" in page title breaks the page
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9551

Using the short-URL method causes slashes "\" not to work in URLs. This is with Apache 2.2 on Windows 2003 server. Maiden taiwan 18:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Help with Rewrite mode.
I have done the rewrite mode and when i try to enter the website to the index.php without the file name it redirects me to the wiki. What happened?

That rewrite code didn't work for me!!
I had the wiki files installed http://www.domain.ext/hebrew/w/

Instead of having that ugly http://www.domain.ext/hebrew/w/index.php?title=Main_Page

I wanted to forward http://www.domain.ext/hebrew/wiki/Main_Page

The subdirectory business gave me a hell of a headache

After many pints of beer, I managed it with the following code in public_html/.htaccess: RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /hebrew RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^hebrew/wiki/(.*) w/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^hebrew/wiki/*$ wiki/ [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^/*$ wiki/ [L,QSA] I do hope this helps somebody, so that I didn't yank mi hair for nothing. --89.0.123.140 22:42, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Replace "hebrew" with your subdirectory name.


 * Oh, and I also edited LocalSettings.php for the internal wiki redirection to work:
 * $wgScriptPath = "/hebrew/w";
 * $wgArticlePath = "/hebrew/wiki/$1";
 * Voila. --89.0.123.140 22:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
