It is common in this case to use w as the folder name and | + | /wiki/ as the virtual article path where your articles pretend to be. | + | | + | See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL | + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + +Hop into your browser and surf into the wiki directory.

There is now a copy of "LocalSettings.php" +available to download from the installer. Download this now, there is not a +way (yet) to get it after you exit the installer. Place it in the main wiki +directory, and the wiki should now be working. + +Once the wiki is set up, you should remove the mw-config directory (though it will +refuse to config again if the wiki is set up). + +---- + +Don't forget that this is free software under development! Chances are good +there's a crucial step that hasn't made it into the documentation. You should +probably sign up for the MediaWiki developers' mailing list; you can ask for +help (please provide enough information to work with, and preferably be aware of +what you're doing!) and keep track of major changes to the software, including +performance improvements and security patches. + +https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce (low traffic) + +https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l (site admin support) + +https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l (development) -- cgit v1.2.1
