Hello,

I have installed MediaWiki in /export/home/mediawiki on Solaris 8 . I do have PHP and apache2. I am very new to his media wiki. I have configured necessary PHP entries in apache and added this line also in the end [ ScriptAlias /mediawiki "/export/home/mediawiki" ]
Have set full permissions for all but I am not able to access it with apache. it says " permission denied".
But If I copy the mediawiki folder to the apache's htdocs folder then I am able to access it. I am not ablt to understand why it is not accessing from the home directory. can anyone please help me with this.

Thanks
Vani

IIRC ScriptAlias is for defining areas where CGI programs live and is
mutually exclusive with a document area where you can put directly
accessible files and PHP scripts (which are run through a filter, not
directly as CGI programs). Try Alias instead.
