Manual:Short URL/wiki/Page title -- No Root Access, 1.13 alternative
From MediaWiki.org
I changed the setup around a little because my host (1and1) needs it to go to index.php5 to show an article. I've only tested this on 1.13, but if it works on other versions, please update.
[edit] LocalSettings.php
First of all remove all other code you've added from any other Short URL Setups (If you've done any) Next, add the following code after $wgSitename = "my wiki site";
$wgUsePathInfo = false; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
[edit] .htaccess
Edit or add .htacces to the root folder (Not /w/), and replace with this code:
# rewrite rules to make default page the wiki and create pretty urls Options FollowSymLinks Indexes RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ /w/index.php5?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^wiki(//+)?$ /wiki/ [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^/*$ /wiki/ [L]
