That'll be why apache is not rewriting the path to mediawiki > /var/www which is the root doc directory for the server. > I've read nothing about one for that directory. It's best practice use .htaccess with a webserver to:- ;rewrite paths when mod_rewrite is installed[*2] ;block access conditionally (e.g. *enforce* indexing instead of politely requesting with robots.txt)[*.2] ;redirect conditionally (or unconditionally)[*.2] ;force a passwd[*1] ;enable/disable certain wiki/cms options ;serve different browsers differently [*1](in this instance to restrict access to awestats logs served by the web server, note that htpasswd is whole 'nuther subject) cat ~/public_html/cgi-bin/.htacess AuthUserFile "/home/scottfer/public_html/cgi-bin/htusers" AuthType Basic AuthName "Digital Ebola Labs" require valid-user <Files htusers> deny from all </Files> > I'm aware of what they > are for but the debian installer for lighttpd did not provide one. > Should I put one in place?
