Hi.

I am currently implementing the short url into my wiki. It works, however it does not redirect to the wiki url but the index.php file.

Everything is copied from the short url configs.

Thanks in advance.

You probably didn't copy everything. For example: Manual:Short URL/Apache#LocalSettings.php

I did copy everything.

It’s not really helping since I already told you that I copied everything.

The information you provide is not helpful either to figure out what's wrong.

You can start by sharing your configuration, link to your site, etc

Hi,

Same user as before. Coping it led to a 404 error.

Here is the code:

# Enable the rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On

# Short URL for wiki pages
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

# Redirect / to Main Page
RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

LocalSettings.php:

$wgScriptPath = "/w";     
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";

If you manually type an index.php URL, it won't redirect to a /wiki/ URL.

The configuration purpose is:

• The wiki will generate /wiki/ URLs on normal view links (not edit, diff, history links). This is the LocalSettings.php configuration.
• Your webserver will recognize /wiki/ URLs and translate them into /w/index.php URLs (without a redirect, browser will stay at /wiki/). This is what the apache configuration does.

Does it work for you as I explained?

I have done it to an article link, it still leads to a 404 error.

Basically, it looks like your rewrite rules are not applied, or %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} points to the wrong location.

Try changing %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php to the full path of index.php (in the filesystem).ç

Also, set up some debugging to see how the rewrite is being done (or if it's being applied at all): https://stackoverflow.com/a/9632952/7268905

It’s still the same, even with the webroot in.

Debugging is your only option. Or your server is pretty broken

How do I see the debug output?

See the stackoverflow link I posted before

There is a error log, which says $wgPasswordSender and $wgEnableEmail are undefined and unexpected in that order.

For the first one $wgResourceBasePathki is undefined. I cant find any reference to it in MediaWiki.

The second one says that the variable is unexpected.

There is a third one where the string “apache” is unexpected, and it expected a closing [.

All lines go to the variables, $wgPasswordSender to itself, $wgEnableEmail to $wgEmailAuthentication, and the Apache to $wgDBserver
