question from anonymous user

Could you possibly give instructions if you use the "index.php?title=" method? because my server gets 404 errors with the /index.php/ method? i can't tell from your article which changes would be necessary.

how to use ?title=

Well, I haven't ever set that up myself, but I gather it's set in LocalSettings.php. With the normal setup (i.e. /index.php/articlename), you have these settings: 

$wgScript           = "$wgScriptPath/index.php";
$wgArticlePath      = "$wgScript/$1";

...so I think what you would do is change the second setting: 

$wgArticlePath      = "$wgScript/?title=$1";

I'm sure I've seen this explicitly spelled out somewhere in the MediaWiki documentation, but can't find it at the moment.

If that doesn't work, or doesn't answer your question, please let me know. --Woozle 21:32, 15 February 2006 (EST)
