I am going to guess that there is a conflict between your rewrite rules and actual directory names. I am guessing that the 403 is generated by directory index not being allowed.
When I go to http://evesham.uk.com/wiki/index.php?page=Life+in+Evesham, the page actually shows up (and it also does when I hit http://evesham.uk.com/index.php?page=Life+in+Evesham). Oddly enough, when I go to http://evesham.uk.com/Life+in+Evesham, I get your home page. I think MediaWiki recommends installing in /w/ (or at least something different than the rewrite prefix you will be using) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache Edits have been made to that page as recently as the beginning of October, so you might want to have a look there. - Y On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 11:45 AM, Lester Caine <les...@lsces.co.uk> wrote: > Antonio Vidal Ferrer wrote: > >> May be as a first step, start enabling Rewrite log.
