Be specific. What fails? > I want to get it running with the web contents located > in /var/www/; Its a mediawiki site and should run as it is installed > directly into the main document directory.

Clearly you receive some response, since you mention a redirection. You need to say what fails? Does it serve gibberish? Does it not execute PHP? Does it report an unrelated error about databases? > This pops up in the url bar of the > browser: > > http://www.physicswiki.net//index.php?title=Main_Page And this page loads for me, leading me to imagine you've silently resolved your problem. > Except for the $HTTP["host"] line all this was set up by the debian > installer & I've added nothing. > Any tips or ideas are appreciated. In making it "not fail"? In removing the trailing slash? In making mediawiki install and run? (That software is not for the faint of heart, and I'd struggle to recommend it unless you had very specific needs.) Steve -- http://www.steve.org.uk/
