Description:
I have installed wiki 1.4.0: (I have installed mediawiki before on another
machine without that kind of problem)

1874413 Mar 20 23:11 mediawiki-1.4.0.tar.gz

Installation went well, but when I edit a page, enter some text and save it, it
make a correct POST, but the following get is to localhost. I have tried to
change various variables from localhost/127.0.0.1 to the ip of the server. but
to no avail.

If I connect from a browser on the machine with the mediawiki-installation I get
the following two hits in my apache2 access_log:

127.0.0.1 - - [13/Apr/2005:10:37:56 -0400] "POST /wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
&action=submit HTTP/1.1" 302 26 "http://127.0.0.1/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
&action=edit" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041105
Firefox/1.0RC2"
127.0.0.1 - - [13/Apr/2005:10:37:58 -0400] "GET /wiki/index.php/Main_Page HTTP/1
.1" 200 2159 "http://127.0.0.1/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit" "Mozi
lla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041105 Firefox/1.0RC2"

If I do it from a remote machine (on the same LAN) I only get a hit
corresponding to the POST:

192.168.1.50 - - [13/Apr/2005:10:38:31 -0400] "POST
/wiki/index.php?title=User:Berntsen&action=submit HTTP/1.1" 302 26
"http://192.168.1.6/wiki/index.php?title=User:Berntsen&action=submit"
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319"

Then I get a popup window with access to 127.0.0.1 denied. My page does not
change, but if I reload the page I saved, my changes are in it.

It might be related, that if I try and get index.php I get the following error:

$ lynx --source http://192.168.1.6/wiki/index.php

Looking up 192.168.1.6

lynx: Can't access startfile http://192.168.1.6/wiki/index.php

The above request yields the following in the apache access_log

192.168.1.50 - - [13/Apr/2005:11:07:12 -0400] "GET /wiki/index.php HTTP/1.0" 301
26 "-" "Lynx/2.8.4rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7b"

If I try and get the Main_Page, it is successful:

lynx --source http://192.168.1.6/wiki/index.php/Main_Page > Main_Page.html

In the log it looks like:

192.168.1.50 - - [13/Apr/2005:11:08:48 -0400] "GET /wiki/index.php/Main_Page
HTTP/1.0" 200 2177 "-" "Lynx/2.8.4rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7b"

(I wont paste it, unless helpful)?

I hope you can help out (and I hope its not a local configuration error that I
am wasting your time on).
