It's been stated here before that one should not put the wiki
directly under the root of your site, like "http://www.mysite.com/
WikiWord", but rather have something else in-between, like "http://
www.mysite.com/wiki/WikiWord"quot;.
I forget the reason for this, and wonder if that reason holds true
for a hack I just implemented. I have Apache set up to go to
Error.php upon encountering a missing page, which contains the
following:
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/wiki/<?php echo basename
($_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL']) ?>">
</head><body></body></html>
This effectively means that a URL "http://www.mysite.com/WikiWord"
will be redirected to "http://www.mysite.com/wiki/WikiWord".
Is this a bad thing? Should I just throw up a generic error page
instead?
