Following the steps at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache
I have already migrate my wiki page from URLs:
http://acacha.org/mediawiki/index.php/ARTICLENAME
to
http://acacha.org/mediawiki/ARTICLENAME
For example now to see Apache article you can go to:
http://acacha.org/mediawiki/Apache
But now my problem is the following old link:
http://acacha.org/mediawiki/index.php/Apache
Mediawiki interpret thar as an article with name"index.php/Apache". I don't mind not to be able to write articles starting with index.php/ but for SEO is very important that old links redirect to new links. For example I want to redirect from URL:
http://acacha.org/mediawiki/index.php/Apache
to
http://acacha.org/mediawiki/Apache
My current config is:
Apache VirtualHost (file /etc/apache2/conf-available/mediawiki.conf). Follow:
ServerName acacha.org
ServerAlias www.acacha.org
DocumentRoot /var/lib/acacha_mediawiki
php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
#DOES NOT WORK:
#AliasMatch ^/mediawiki/index.php(.*) /var/lib/acacha_mediawiki/w/index.php
<Directory /var/lib/acacha_mediawiki/>
#If this is uncommented new files uploaded give a Forbidden Error. Example:
# http://acacha.org/mediawiki/upload/c/c0/Francesc_fores_identity.png --> SOLVED ADDING +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch above
Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

# Enable the rewrite engine

</Directory>

Mediawiki is installed at:
/var/lib/acacha_mediawiki/w
And LocalSettings file:
...
define('MW_INSTALL_PATH','/var/lib/acacha_mediawiki/w');
...
$wgScriptPath = "/w";
$wgScriptExtension = ".php";
$wgArticlePath = "/mediawiki/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
...
Is possible to migrate an existing mediawiki page to shortURLs and create a redirect from old URLs to new ones?
