How do I change my mediawiki url / path?
Best Answer not yet chosen
I ported an existing MediaWiki site to inmotion and got it working on the temporary URL.
Now I have the real site up and running, it works ok but the URLs are:
wiki.example.com/~userxx/wiki
Anyone know what to edit (LocalSettings.php?) to get my user name out of the URL. It works but its a bit ugly.

Hi axlesoft,
To remove your cPanel username from your mediawiki url, you'll need to update the $wgScriptPath setting in your LocalSettings.php file.
I took a quick look at your LocalSettings.php file, and I saw that you had this setting in place:
After updating this to:
... the issue with the username in the url has been resolved.
I hope that helps!
Thanks,

I had actually made that change (listed in the answer above) in your config file, tested a few pages in your wiki, and that seemed to have resolved the issue. Sounds like I missed a few pages in my testing?
Either way, glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue, and we really appreciate you posting the solution!
Thanks again!

Didn't work, whole wiki goes down with an error message.
Fresh install and I found that
$wgScriptPath = "";
works. Maybe because the wiki is installed in /wiki, I really don't know.
