I've been thinking about this a bit more and I suspect the redirection might be occuring in mediawiki itself. When setting it up, did you specify a path or URI with a trailing slash? Check your LocalSettings.php file. (not sure if it's also worth checking the DB tables for any hard-coded bits, but I suspect it would be in the LocalSettings file). I find the "HEAD" tool from the libwww-perl package very useful for diagnosing these sorts of problems, by the way, especially with the '-S' flag, which shows you all HTTP redirects (example): $ HEAD -S alcopop.org HEAD http://alcopop.org 301 Moved Permanently HEAD http://jmtd.net/ 200 OK Connection: close Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:29:12 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "1108126527" Server: lighttpd/1.4.31 Content-Length: 3222 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Last-Modified: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:30:16 GMT -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
