I apologize that this question is a little vague. The question is really about how Apache returns URLs to a browser or an intermediate Apache server.

Problem Description:
--------------------\

If I route to my MediaWiki installation directly http://MyWikiServer:900020, everything works fine.

However, I want another Apache server -- that serves as a "web router" to act as an internet front end to the wiki. This works for quite a few of our applications, but two things are happening with the Wiki which I don't understand.

1) The wiki's graphics are not being displayed correctly, and

2) Routes past the first page, which does display in text form, do not work; that is the links cannot be found.

Question:
---------

What settings do I need to change -- and I'm assuming it's on the Wiki's server -- to return full URLs?

Thank you for your thoughts.

I have a related issue with a DokuWiki installation. Since I installed it locally and configured all the url's to "localhost" instead of the network name, nothing but the front page is accessible on any other machines. I think you'll have to reconfigure the WikiMedia installation through your proxy machine to change the urls.

I'll go try this.
Nothing's on the Wiki yet, so I can blast it away and reinstall it.

Edit:
There must be more to the reconfiguring this. I changed to the external server name, but got the same result.
End Edit

You didn't give much details, but I guess you're trying to run the wiki server behind an apache reverse proxy.
If that's the case, take a look here for instructions

Thanks for your reply. Basically, I performed almost no configuration of the Wiki other than a straight installation.

After looking at the logs on the proxy, it appears I'm going to have to write or have written a Perl remapper, which we have to do for a donation application.

The proxy is the one complaining, and rightfully so, because it's dealing with local directory information for things like skins.

Edit:

After looking at your link, this appears to be exactly what I was looking for. I'll get back to this post after moving ahead with this information. Thanks.
