I just installed mediawiki to my website. How do I get the mediawiki to be on the default home page of mydomain.com

1) Don't install it in a sub directory. (or)
2) Create a redirect to point to the sub directory.
A redirect can be done via htaccess file ex.
redirect permanent index.html http://www.example.com/subdirectory/filename.html

htaccess will usually not be there. You will need to create it in the root directory and name it:

.htaccess


It will not be visible with a normal 'ls'. If there is one there, you should be able to see it with most FTP clients or with a 'ls -a' command.

Good luck
