The Debian package does some odd things to MediaWiki

to fit in with the odd things Debian does to Apache.

httpd.conf in /etc/apache2/

htdocs in /var/www/ (default)

logs in /var/log/apache2/ (default)

Apache rules are added in /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf - - - - /etc/mediawiki/

The installer tells you to move the wiki configuration to /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php - - LocalSettings.php

1-1-16 never get to installer - http://localhost/mediawiki

• Not found

The MediaWiki code is in /usr/share/mediawiki/ but

LocalSettings.php and AdminSettings.php are symlinks

to /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php and /etc/mediawiki/AdminSettings.php

config/ extensions/ and images/ are symlinks

to /var/lib/mediawiki/config/ etc.

/var/lib/mediawiki/ has config/ extensions/ and Images/

along with symlinks back to /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/ /usr/share/mediawiki/index.php etc.
