Dear Maintainer,

Headless server ssh cli: aptitude install mediawiki = (pass): attempt to
configure with browser per instructions (fail).
'The requested URL /mediawiki/mw-config/index.php was not found on this
server.'

     ineffective)?
1. Symlinked /usr/share/mediawiki directory to sites-enabled.
2. Still not found.
3. Restarted Apache.  ___________________

   * What was the outcome of this action?
1. $ sudo service apache2 restart
2. apache2: Syntax error on line 268 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected this to work like it always has in the past.
I've never had a problem installing it until now.
I'm reporting this so that the maintainer et al. will be aware of it and
hopefully correct it.
