I have mediawiki installed on an ubuntu machine, which worked fine for
the longest time.  I use the wiki infrequently, it had probably been
weeks since I used it last, but when I tried to open it a few days ago
I get the error message "The requested URL
/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page was not found on this server."

When I check /var/log/apache2/error.log I see the line:
[Fri Feb 01 12:14:10 2008] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] File does
not exist: /var/lib/mediawiki1.7

Playing with the locate command, I see that I get a few results for
mediawiki1.7 and pages of results for mediawiki1.10

$ locate mediawiki1.7
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mediawiki1.7.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mediawiki1.7.list
/etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki1.7.conf
/etc/mediawiki1.7
/etc/mediawiki1.7/cherokee.conf
/etc/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php.var-dpkg-backup
/etc/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php
/etc/mediawiki1.7/apache.conf
/etc/mediawiki1.7/README

So I figure I must have upgraded to mediawiki1.10 at some point, I'm
not sure if it was during one of Ubuntu's daily updates or what, and
that I must still have a setting somewhere pointing to 1.7 that I
should redirect to 1.10.  The problem is that when grep all the config
files in /etc/apache2 I don't see any mention of mediawiki1.7.

apt-cache policy indicates that mediawiki1.7 should not be installed,
so I'm not sure that doing an apt-get remove mediawiki1.7 would do
anything, and I'm a little hesitant to just try it out of concern I
might make things worse.

So I'm looking for advice on where I should be looking to let apache
know it should be using mediawiki1.10, as I'm not sure where else to
look from here.
