The wiki is installed in the root html/http directory. Example: /home/user/public_html OR /var/www for other Linux distributions.
Pages will be accessed at example.com/Page_Title or www.example.com/Page_Title. This will also work as wiki.example.com/Page_Title as any subdomain should work under the server_name directive and a minor tweak to LocalSettings.php.
Page can still be accessed with example.com/index.php/Page_Title and example.com/index.php?title=Page_Title. This is great since if your wiki has been up previously old search engine links and bookmarks will continue to work.
Viewing File:Image.jpg files and similar with a period in the name will work with this setup.
Static files will be served with max expiration header to reduce load on the server.
This configuration will work with robots.txt and other files stuck in the root directory. This script checks for the existence of the file to serve directly before passing the URI request off to MediaWiki.
