Problems with MediaWiki on a subdomain

Hello,

I am having difficulties installing MediaWiki on a subdomain.

I installed it on http://filozofija.imped.net (which is also reachable
via http://www.filozofija.imped.net) and when enter that URL, the Wiki's
index.php automatically redirects me to
http://www.imped.net/index.php/Glavna_strana, a "nonexistent" page
(there's no wiki there; Glavna_strana is Serbian translation of English
Main_Page).

But, when I manually enter
http://filozofija.imped.net/index.php/Glavna_strana, for example,
everything seems fine.

What could be the problem? What to check first?

Thanks,
Ivan.

Your web server is reporting a different hostname than you're using
externally. When the wiki uses an HTTP redirect to send you to a
canonical page URL it must according to the spec use a full URL, so
it's using the hostname that the server claims to be.

Override it in LocalSettings.php:
$wgServer = "http://www.filozofija.imped.net";
