Script examples for regular server deployments

mediawiki.md

Short URLs in MediaWiki

Settings for mediawiki running on Apache server, with clean URLs like domain.tld/Article_Name, when the installation directory is %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/

The Contents of the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L,QSA]

Modifications in LocalSettings.php file:

$wgScriptPath = "/w";
$wgArticlePath = "/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
$wgScriptExtension = ".php";

That's about it!
