Topic on Manual talk:Short URL/Apache/Flow

For some reason, MediaWiki packaged for Debian installs in /usr/share/mediawiki instead of somewhere under /var/www. There is also no file for it in /etc/apache2/sites-available, only in /etc/apache2/conf-available. In which section of which file do the settings go in this case? I am trying to use the root access method and not a .htaccess file, to be clear.

Files in <code>/etc/apache2/sites-available</code> are just Apache configuration files on how to serve the website using Virtual Hosts. Here's a guide on how to make a <code>.conf</code> file for Apache: <VirtualHost> Directive

Regardless of method, you need a site configuration file for the web server to display.
