.htaccess in mediawiki not working -

i have wiki , running @ example.com. when go page links change in url /index.php/main_page

i not want parts after / main page. want index.php out

i have in .htaccess

rewriteengine on rewritebase / rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewriterule ^/(.*)$ wiki/index.php?title=$1 [pt,l,qsa] rewriterule ^/*$ wiki/index.php [l,qsa] rewriterule ^$ wiki/index.php [l,qsa] 

and in localsettings.

$wgscriptpath       = "/w"; $wgarticlepath = "/wiki/$1"; 

where error? cannot figure out ... followed mediawiki t.

your 3 rewrite rules contradictory , don't match $wgscriptpath. meant like:

rewriterule ^/wiki/(.*)$ w/index.php?title=$1 [pt,l,qsa] rewriterule ^/*$ w/index.php [l,qsa]
