Thread:Project:Support desk/Short URL... too difficult

I want to follow Manual:Short URL for shortening my wiki url, but it's too hard to understand. My wiki is on localhost (the root folder is /w).

What does that "4. Edit httpd.conf to contain the rule Alias /wiki /path/to/your/wiki/index.php." mean? where in the httpd.conf file should I put that sentence? And "6. Add AcceptPathInfo on to your Apache config", what does this even mean? Isn't this too difficult for biginners to understand and follow?

I will appreciate if you let me know the easier way to have a short url. I seriously can't find no breakthrough. Help! LyJPedia (talk) 12:04, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
