Re: 403 Forbidden ... (Apache Users)

I am going to guess that there is a conflict between your rewrite rules and actual directory names.

I am guessing that the 403 is generated by directory index not being allowed.

When I go to http://evesham.uk.com/wiki/index.php?page=Life+in+Evesham, the page actually shows up (and it also does when I hit http://evesham.uk.com/index.php?page=Life+in+Evesham).

Oddly enough, when I go to http://evesham.uk.com/Life+in+Evesham, I get your home page.

I think MediaWiki recommends installing in /w/ (or at least something different than the rewrite prefix you will be using)

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache

Edits have been made to that page as recently as the beginning of October, so you might want to have a look there.

The rewrite is apparently doing the correct conversion from
http://evesham.uk.com/wiki/Life+in+Evesham
to
http://evesham.uk.com/wiki/index.php?page=Life+in+Evesham

The full format works fine, it's what is being used now as the site is live.
With the 'LogLevel alert rewrite:trace5' commented out I get

Which I presume IS the fault I'm trying to clear?

Enabling the Loglevel setting I get

At which point I asked for some help ... I think I've checked everything against the http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#run-time crib sheet and I can get the site to give the right errors when I make a mistake but I am now lost as to where to go next.

mod_info should be running, but I'm not seeing it currently .... still working on this.
