to make short names

Edit .htaccess or httpd.conf from here

1) A. Add the following to your .htaccess in your document root directory:

      Options FollowSymLinks
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]

2) Then edit LocalSettings.php

In your LocalSettings.php edit $wgArticlePath as follows:

$wgArticlePath      = "$wgScriptPath/$1";


==Customisation

All customisation entries go into the LocalSettings.php file in the wiki root (/var/www/html/wiki). Add the entries to the end of the file or make changes wherever necessary.


==Logo

Create a folder in the webserver document root and place your logo image there. Set $sgLogo in LocalSettings.php to the path of your logo image. 125x125 pixels is the ideal size for the image

$wgLogo = "/image/logo.png";
