Ran a few diagnostics (some of which have been reported by others already): 1. You definitely have to get your DNS records cleaned up. www.physicswiki.net resolves to 184.168.221.5 canonical name: physicswiki.net NOT to 192.65.240.181 184.168.221.5 reverse resolves to ip-184-168-221-5.ip.secureserver.net 192.65.240.181 has no reverse record listed 2. Fixing the DNS MIGHT be enough www.physicswiki.net goes to page showing: Please complete the installation and download LocalSettings.php. link shows as http://192.65.240.181/mw-config/index.php http://192.65.240.181/ - goes to same pagehttp://192.65.240.181/mw-config/index.php goes to mediawiki configuration page - strangely, clicking through the link from the main page seems to alternately give a blank page and the configuration page - might be a caching thing
So... it's probably NOT a NameVirtualHost issue - as the static IP address seems to work
I do find the line about "LocalSettings.php not found" suspicious - though that might not be created until you work through the configuration steps.
