+ watch out for the differences between instancesdir and base_scriptpath
(it's how apache refers to your directory:
+
+ EXAMPLE 1: (if using mod_userdir )
+ instancesdir="/home/johndoe/public_html/revisions"
+ base_scriptpath="/~johndoe/revisions"
+ and your browser will access wikis from:
+ http://www.johndoesserver.com/~johndoe/revisions
+ (this is the default)
+ It may help to set apache's Options Indexes for your
instancesdir. Else you'll
+ need to directly refer to your a particular wiki as
http://www.johndoesserver.com/~johndoe/revisions/myfirstwiki
+
+ EXAMPLE 2: (A fairly typical apache setup)
+ instancesdir="/var/www/localhost/htdocs/instances"
+ base_scriptpath="/instances"
+ and your browser will access wikis from:
+ http://www.johndoesserver.com/~revisions
+ once again, Options Indexes is your friend
+
+
4. mkdir ~/public_html/revisions (if you are indeed working in your homedir)
or at any rate, ensure that the directory you are going to put mediawiki
exists, and is accessible to apache
