Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately this yielded a 500 internal server error in my configuration.
A few things...I've found out that my server runs php as an apache module so perhaps this should be taken into consideration. Also I already have a line in my .htaccess file setting the RewriteEngine to On as this command was necessary to get the permalinks working in WordPress. I'm wondering if rewriting it for the Short URLs is redundant or a mistake that is affecting the implementation of the Short URLs for MediaWiki? I have made eight or ten different changes to both the LocalSettings.php and .htaccess. I have saved versions of some of these. I don't recall the outcome of all the changes but it would be either what like what happened above, I can't access my web site (www.lauraogrady.ca), or I can access the site but not the wiki (a 404) or I can access the site and the wiki but the Short URLs are not working. I think the best approach at this stage is to try to make changes based on logic (what is known about my settings) rather than just trying everything and anything. Thank you for any assistance.
