: Cross-reference to a MediaWiki website's URL partially not working In words: I developed a website with MediaWiki 1.22.5 (PHP 5.3.3 (apache2handler), SQLite 3.6.20 with full-text search support)

Since this is a webmastering site (and not really a site for web development), I'm gonna make a few suggestions that may help from a website troubleshooter perspective:

Check the cookies. If on the original site, cookies are attached to the domain and you move the site from domain to domain, then no login information will be saved.

Here's an example of a cookie header outputted from a site:

Set-Cookie: A=1;path=/;domain=www.example1.com;expires=Thu, 22 Oct 2015 21:30:27 GMT


It sets a cookie with a name "A" equal to "1" on example1.com anywhere on the site starting at the root folder and the cookie expires on October 22nd.

If this was outputted when a page is requested from example2.com then the cookie wouldn't apply because the domains do not match.

See www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt for more info on how cookies should be setup for proper operation.

The next thing you need to do is check all hyper links in your HTML that you output. All absolute URLs must be updated. For example, if your HTML initially contained this:

<a href="http://www.example1.com/something">Do something</a>


Then you'll need to change it to:

<a href="http://www.example2.com/something">Do something</a>
