In the past few months, I've seen more and more people not wanting to have a "/wiki/" directory. Either because their subdomain says so already, or because their domain name says so already.
The most common fallback in such a case is letting the paths be rewritten from the root of the domain, but I think most developers will agree that this is not a good practice, which is why that manual is not recommended. A good alternative is using wgActionPaths instead. See more here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgActionPaths#Clean_action_paths_from_root The end result will be like: * wiki.example.org/view/Article_name * wiki.example.org/edit/Article_name * wiki.example.org/history/Article_name Sites that use this configuration are for example: * http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Main_Page * https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Main_Page -- Krinkle On Aug 3, 2011, at 7:48 PM, Dorem - Jérémie Bouillon wrote: > On 03/08/2011 18:12, Piyush Bavalia wrote: >> public_html\ArtistGyanWiki >> below subdmain points to 'ArtistGyanWiki' folder >> http://wiki.artistgyan.com > > Without root access, can you edit your apache (if you're using Apache) > config? > > If not, just install mediawiki into public_html\ArtistGyanWiki\w and > follow the MediaWiki manual with default recommanded short URL guide for > .htaccess. > > You'll have something like > http://wiki.artistgyan.com/wiki/Main_page > http://wiki.artistgyan.com/w/index.php?somethingcomplicated > > If you don't have that, you want your pages without /wiki/ directly > under the subdomain, the MW manual also cover it but doesn't recommend it. > > See: > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Short_URL for the global explanation and > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_access > > for the specific. > > > _______________________________________________ > MediaWiki-l mailing list > MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
