Question: How do I setup pretty URLs in MediaWiki on Kattare

In your MediaWiki install directory put a .htaccess with the following content:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.php$ index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?([^\/]+)$ index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]

Then, in LocalSettings.php in the wiki install directory, make sure the setup matches up with the following:

$wgScriptPath = "/my/mediawiki";
$wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php";
$wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php";
$wgArticlePath = "$wgScriptPath/$1";

Where the URL path to your wiki is /my/mediawiki.

You can then access your wiki at something like:

http://www.mydomain.com/my/mediawiki/Main_Page
