Possible Duplicate: MediaWiki on SubDirectory and SubDomain (However doesn't have an answer, nor any replies offering help)
Alright, I'm trying to configure MediaWiki to be installed to a sub-directory. I previously had it installed to a primary domain on http://www.example.com/ with a mod_rewrite using a Short URL of /wiki/Main_Title.
As a note, I'm also on HostGator shared hosting which has special rules for short urls.
My directory structure is as such:
/ (site root; location of .htaccess)/wiki/ (mediawiki root; location of LocalSettings.php)Here's what I tried,
.htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\&(.*)$ $1\%26$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^wiki/(.+)$ ./wiki/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA]
/wiki/LocalSettings.php:
## The URL base path to the directory containing the wiki;
## defaults for all runtime URL paths are based off of this.
## For more information on customizing the URLs please see:
## http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
##
$wgScriptPath = "/wiki";
$wgScriptExtension = ".php";
$wgArticlePath = "$wgScriptPath/$1";
However, I do not get anything. I simply get a 403/Forbidden error; no 500 Internal Server Error, just a 403 - url http://www.example.com/. It's as if there's nothing being done. I've banged my head against the wall trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
My ticket to HostGator resolved the issue, albeit un-helpfully. I was hoping for a single .htaccess solution, rather than a double .htaccess redirect/rewrite. However, here's my solution.
/:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.example.com/wiki/
/wiki/:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
