Woohoo!!!

Welcome to ChrisWiki, the content-free encyclopedia that nobody[1] can edit!

After hours of toil to download a 3.8MB wiki software zip file, uploading 12MB of the uncompressed files[2], then finding out that MediaWiki requires PHP5, and that 1&1 uses the .php5 extension for that so I needed to change my .htaccess file to map .php files to the PHP5 interpreter instead of PHP4, and then finding out that 1&1 also retardedly uses the /config directory to redirect to the administration login page, and that this supersedes any files that actually exist on the server, including .htaccess, then finding out that the installation script craps out if the /config directory doesn't exist[3], then going through the hassle to shorten the URLs through more .htaccess hacks so you don't end up with URLs like

I finally have the wiki set up in a half-way decent fashion that appears to work now.


Oh, and Neal, thanks for this!
