When installing VaultWiki for the first time, or if you have made changes recently to [HELP]VaultWiki: Server Settings[/HELP], you may need to update your server's Mod Rewrite configuration.
Visit [color="DimGray"]VaultWiki > Initial Wiki Setup[/color]. In the section called "Mod Rewrite Generator," it asks "What type of rewrite does your server use?" Select the format your server uses. [i].htaccess[/i] is the most common and is selected by default, but your configuration might be different. If you're not sure what to do here, contact your server administrator.

[template]Warning Box | Important | If you discover that your server does not support Mod Rewrite, you will have to use the default values for the following "VaultWiki: Server Settings":
[list][*]Wiki Base URL: ([color="DimGray"]vBulletin Options (aka Settings) > vBulletin Options (aka Options) > Site Name / URL / Contact Details > Forum URL[/color])
[*]Wiki PHP File Name: showwiki
[*]REQUEST Title Variable: title
[*]Simplify Wiki Links: No[/list][/template]
When you've selected the appropriate Mod Rewrite format, click the "Generate" button. Most setups will show 1 text box - this box shows the contents that must be added to your server's Mod Rewrite settings for the location specified.

Some setups will show more than 1 box. In this case, the contents of each box must be added for the corresponding locations. If both boxes actually point to the same directory on your server (like if [i][noparse]http://wiki.site.com[/noparse][/i] and [i][noparse]http://forum.site.com[/noparse][/i] both point to the main [i]site.com[/i] directory), then ignore the first box. -
