What about telling apache that the root folder is the mediawiki/ one? Remember to change $wgArticlePath and $wgScriptPath at LocalSettings.php, so MediaWiki expects to be called as /index.php/page However, I do recommend against using debian packages for mediawiki. Mediawiki is php, so there aren't binary versions, the debian package usually: *Are outdated. *Break the normal configuration in odd ways. *Which in turn, makes harder to help you. And MediaWiki does a very good job installing directly. :) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
