Thanks, Volker.

Following the advice in the message  "bad base url when mediawiki url
declared on "localhost"
(https://groups.google.com/group/mwlib/browse_frm/thread/2916cdf1bd247260/31b3e201a3c67752?hl=en_US&lnk=gst&q=localhost#31b3e201a3c67752)

* in LocalSettings.php , I have added
  $wgServer           = "http://mediawikihost/";;
 (I also tried with "http://mediawikihost/w"; , because that's where
the mediawiki sits ; which one  should I use?)

* in /etc/hosts, I added
127.0.0.1     mediawikihost

*  Having done  /etc/init.d/apache2 restart , I loaded
http://mediawikihost/w/index.php/Main_Page. It works as before, except
that often a  extra / or /w is added to the URL . When removed, it
works again.

* Then I tried to download my book as pdf .  Unfortunately, it still
does not work.

* As you can see, I know almost nothing about Apache. Anyway, just to
try my luck,  I created the file
/etc/apache2/sites-available/mediawiki
with the statement  "DocumentRoot /var/www/w/" in it, and enabled it.
But it makes no any difference, it seems, because downloading my book
as pdf still not works.

*  And mw-render -w rl -o test.pdf -c http://mediawikihost/w/
--collectionpage 'My Book' still gives "Unhandled Error"

Grateful for more advice.
- Mikael
