If you have looked up things on wiki, you might have noticed the the addresses are [en.wikipedia.org] (assuming the english version) but your new wiki has the address of [localhost] Getting rid of this this requires some doing in the [httpd.conf] file Apache conf directory.

I found most of this information on [www.mediawiki.org] with many other google searches. Alias /wiki C:\wamp\www\HighlandWiki\w\index.php In addition at the end of the file, add: AllowOverride all. WikiTaxi [Delphi Inspiration] Did you ever want to take Wikipedia with you while you are offline?

Can MediaWiki become portable? Pardon my ignorance on this issue, I'm a techie novice.

I see on this page that MoWeS Portable includes MediaWiki which can be run from a stick. And I see that someone here at PortableApps installed Portable XAMPP Lite and MediaWiki, but it's not clear to me if this can integrate fully with PortableApps. Seems like if it were that simple, it would be listed on the page of portable apps. Could someone please let me know if it can be installed on the same external drive that I'm running my PortableApps from without causing a problem (even though it may not meet all the requirements of being "portable")? Are there any plans to fully integrate MediaWiki? Thanks, Jennifer (in New Zealand)
