Description Patrice Le Gurun 2008-01-01 19:26:24 UTC
Description of problem:
It's seems there is a lack of a symlink to /usr/share/mediawiki/skins/ directory
in /var/www/wiki/.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.9.4-35.fc7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mediawiki via yum
2. Configure it
  
Actual results:
After configuration, web pages should respect mediawiki themes.

Expected results:
After configuration, web pages don't respect mediawiki themes (no images and no
CSS, so the display is ugly).

Additional info:
It seems there is a lack of symlink to /usr/share/mediawiki/skins/ directory in
/var/www/wiki/. Adding this symlink solve the problem.
Maybe others symlinks are required, but with the skins symlink all seems to be ok.

Comment 1 Axel Thimm 2008-08-16 11:10:58 UTC
You don't need to (and shouldn't) symlink anything more to the web exposed mediawiki install, just use

    Alias /skins     /usr/share/mediawiki/skins

in your httpd.conf where appropriate.
