@bobotron Try that again with "ls -la" instead of just "ls"

I was wondering if this is a permissions issue; on my wiki's apache (or www or whatever) usually owns the mediawiki installation. You see "elmerg elmerg"? That's the user and group that owns the directory. Its permissions are set to user = read/write, group=read, everyone else=read.

Which should be enough for apache to read and execute php as php from a browser isn't executed according to the +x permission.

My last shot in the dark is:

Do:

ls -la /var/www

To see who owns that, and:

sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /var/www/v5game

But I don't think it'll fix it. I have no idea what's going on

You might try digging around for the access and error logs in apache, unfortunately I don't know where they are in red hat os's.

Looks like root covers the directories except for the ones I created for some sites, which I set permissions for to my non-root sudo user per DigitalOcean's setup for virtual hosts.

WISE FWOM YOUW GWAVE!

I finally got this, so I figured I'd share it here.

First I went through httpd.conf and changed every instance of AllowOverride to All

Then I did this...

getenforce
setenforce 0
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

I added the below under DocumentRoot in my virtual host config in sites-available:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/YOURDOMAIN.COM/public_html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

I rebooted the httpd.service again using the systemctl above.

Then I did my .htaccess in my public_html folder, and used this.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^wiki/(.)$ mw/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^wiki/$ mw/index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^wiki$ mw/index.php [L,QSA]

In LocalSettings.php, I added these under wgscriptpath:

$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo= true;

It worked perfectly to redirect /mw/ to /wiki/.

I also used another setting to make the core .com redirect in the .htaccess as well, just putting this under the info above..

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mw/$1 [L]

It's working perfectly now.
