I have installed wiki 1.4.0: (I have installed mediawiki before on another machine without that kind of problem) 1874413 Mar 20 23:11 mediawiki-1.4.0.tar.gz Installation went well, but when I edit a page, enter some text and save it, it make a correct POST, but the following get is to localhost. I have tried to change various variables from localhost/127.0.0.1 to the ip of the server. but to no avail. If I connect from a browser on the machine with the mediawiki-installation I get the following two hits in my apache2 access_log: 127.0.0.1 - - [13/Apr/2005:10:37:56 -0400] "POST /wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page &action=submit HTTP/1.1" 302 26 "http://127.0.0.1/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page &action=edit" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041105 Firefox/1.0RC2" 127.0.0.1 - - [13/Apr/2005:10:37:58 -0400] "GET /wiki/index.php/Main_Page HTTP/1 .1" 200 2159 "http://127.0.0.1/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit" "Mozi lla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041105 Firefox/1.0RC2" If I do it from a remote machine (on the same LAN) I only get a hit corresponding to the POST: 192.168.1.50 - - [13/Apr/2005:10:38:31 -0400] "POST /wiki/index.php?title=User:Berntsen&action=submit HTTP/1.1" 302 26 "http://192.168.1.6/wiki/index.php?title=User:Berntsen&action=submit" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319" Then I get a popup window with access to 127.0.0.1 denied. My page does not change, but if I reload the page I saved, my changes are in it. It might be related, that if I try and get index.php I get the following error: $ lynx --source http://192.168.1.6/wiki/index.php Looking up 192.168.1.6 Making HTTP connection to 192.168.1.6 Sending HTTP request.

I hope you can help out (and I hope its not a local configuration error that I am wasting your time on).
Set Apache's ServerName directive correctly in httpd.conf. Alternatively, override the autodetected $wgServer value in LocalSettings.php.
Thanks a lot for the apache help. To my "defense" I can tell that I never changed the default of Apache's ServerName. I have installed multiple OSS plugins and stuff for apache and never had that problem. Priorily I had installed mediawiki on a site, where I installed it as virtual host where I had set the ServerName properly. May I suggest to add a check to the already pretty intelligent installer? Anyway, thanks for the swift and helpful response. /\/ikolaj
On my laptop, apache is configured with ServerName "localhost", and I want it to be like that. I wouldn't be to happy if the installer would refuse to install.
