[Phpwiki-talk] tricky problem -- 1.3.0 wiki broken after server tweaks

[Tara S. <te...@cl...>]

Hi!

hope somebody can help me -- this is starting to look tricky.

I have two wikis running on one engine (I know the engine is old, but I 
changed quite a lot of markup in it and would rather stick to it if I could, 
rather than install a newer version and risk running into even more tricky 
problems ;-)):

http://spirolattic.net/HomePage
http://climbtothestars.org/pim/BookMarks

My sysadmin installed suexec recently and upgraded php -- since then, it's all 
broken.

I was using a rewrite rule for spirolattic:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/? /wiki/$1 [L]

wiki being a renamed index.php file sent with a php mimetype.

Now, I have two problems:

a) the wiki does not seem to accept http://spirolattic.net/wiki/RecentChanges 
as a wiki page anymore. It has to be of the form 
http://spirolattic.net/wiki/?RecentChanges to work

b) this means I need to change my rewrite rule, but for some strange reason 
the following doesn't work:
RewriteRule ^(.*)/? /wiki/?$1 [L]

Point a) is valid for the second wiki too (pim): 
http://climbtothestars.org/pim/BookMarks does not work, whereas 
http://climbtothestars.org/pim/?BookMarks does. No rewriting here, pim being 
the main wiki file sent out as php mime-type.

However, another interesting development: the internal links created by the 
wiki are weird: http://climbtothestars.org/pim/pim?pagename=MartialArtsLinks 
instead of http://climbtothestars.org/pim/MartialArtsLinks -- what could make 
the wiki start writing them that way all of a sudden? The links are "ok" in 
the spirolattic wiki.

It seems to me the core of the problem concerns the wiki -- point (b) is not 
important if I manage to get the wiki to accept wiki/PageName uris again.

Thanks for any help -- and let me know if you need more info.

Steph aka Tara
