still sorta confused about running those two together. my end goal is to have simple urls like:

wiki.something.com/TheArticleThingie

right now under my current configs i get urls that look like this:

wiki.something.com/index.php/TheArticleThingie

which is *very close* but not quite.

To prove that i've done my share of "just google it"

i tried to cut&paste the configs from http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxMediaWiki and when i do an nginx -t it gives and error:

--snip--snip--snip-- tina:/etc/nginx/vhosts# nginx -t 2009/04/28 20:32:25 [emerg] 1172#0: invalid number of arguments in "rewrite" directive in /etc/nginx/vhosts/wiki.sunlightlabs.com.conf:22 2009/04/28 20:32:25 [emerg] 1172#0: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed --snip--snip--snip--
