Hello all: I have a question about some basic configuration settings in LocalSettings.php that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I have an established wiki that was originally set up using MediaWiki 1.4.x (I think). I just upgraded to 1.15.x. The domain name is www.mywiki.com. The domain name is mapped to a subdirectory located at /path/to/public_html/mywiki. Currently, the URL of the main page shows up as: http://www.mywiki.com/index.php?title=MyWiki In order to do this, the following variables in LocalSettings.php were set up as follows: $wgSitename = "MyWiki"; $wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php"; $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1"; $wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins"; $wgStyleDirectory = "$IP/skins"; $wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/monobook/mylogo.png"; $wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images"; Is there any downside to having the URL set up as http://www.mywiki.com/index.php versus the recommended way; i.e., http://www.mywiki.com/wiki/index.php? Is there any way to switch over to the recommended way without changing the URL that is shown to the public and search engines? Perhaps, some way to rewrite the URL in the background? Thanks in advance for your help, Patricia _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
