    Default Rewriting URLs

    'sup,

    So can anyone help with rewrite rules here? I have a MediaWiki install in the root of the web directory and am trying to get the URLs to look 'pretty'. So far I have http://wiki.example.com/index.php/Main_Page but I want to get rid of the index.php part, so it just looks like http://wiki.example.com/Main_Page.

    .htaccess:
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^[^:]*\. - [L]
    RewriteRule ^[^:]*\/ - [L]
    RewriteRule ^/*$ /index.php?title=Main_Page [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
    LocalSettings.php
    Code:
    $wgScriptPath = "";
    $wgScriptExtension = ".php";
    $wgUsePathInfo = true;

    Thanks

    Its a good job I was looking for extensions for the HabboxWiki earlier and came across this: (I know its not an extension)

    http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL

    Defaults
    MediaWiki's default installation path usually looks something like this:
    /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mediawiki/w (installed as root user)
    /home/johndoe/public_html/mediawiki/w (installed with a shared hosting provider)
    MediaWiki's default page addresses looks like these examples:
    http://example.com/w/index.php/Page_title (recent versions of MediaWiki, unless using CGI)
    http://example.com/w/index.php?title=Page_title (recent versions of MediaWiki, using CGI)
    Using the methods below, short webpage addresses can be changed to addresses such as these:
    http://example.com/wiki/Page_title (this is the standard, same as in Wikipedia)
    http://wiki.example.com/Page_title (not recommended!)
    Hope it helps
