New install: Problem with subdomain settings

Dear all,

I have just installed MediaWiki on a Webspace (preconfigured app-installation on Apache). Basically things work fine, but I have trouble with the configuration of the subdomain.

  • I have a domain mydomain.de,
  • the wiki installation at mydomain.de/wiki,
  • and a subdomain wiki.mydomain.de that refers to mydomain.de/wiki

With the default config (only $wgGroupPermissions was modified), the following works:

  • mydomain.de/wiki is ok, leads to "login required".
  • clicking on LogIn shows an unformatted login-page for 100 ms, then the login-page in correct format
  • Login works, everything seems to be fine.
  • wiki.mydomain.de also leads to "login required", but the page is unformatted.
  • clicking on LogIn brings up an "Internal Server Error" (500), hinting at a misconfiguration error. "More information about this error may be available in the server error log". A serverlog is not accessbile to me (as far as I know).

I did some experiments according to Manual:Short URL/LocalSettings.php, with no success. Any help?

Regards, Karl
