I know this is more of an apache question, but it should be a slam-dunk
and I am stuck..
I am trying to get short URLs working. I've configured mod-rewrite
before on other systems and I can't find anything wrong with any of the
various setups I've tried, but mod_rewrite is being ignored.
Here's my mediawiki setup:
Alias /mediawiki /var/lib/mediawiki
<Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/>
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
# some directories must be protected
<Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/config>
Options -FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/lib/mediawiki/upload>
Options -FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
This works fine, except that I have long URLs in the form of
http://newmoon.seiner.lan/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
I would really like
http://newmoon.seiner.lan/wiki/Main_Page
I've tried
root@NewMoon:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# cat rewrite.conf
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L]
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 5
</IfModule>
and various other places. If I take out the Alias in the mediawiki
file, I get 404 errors.
Nothing is written in the rewrite log.
But if I intentionally break the rewrite.conf, I get an error, so I know
apache is reading it, but it is not rewriting the URL ever.
I've tried adding the rewrite rules in /var/www/.htaccess,
/var/lib/mediawiki/.htaccess, no joy.
Any hints on where I can look?
Thanks!
