Thanks for your help but yes, I do have a directory called "mediawiki" under the root directory of my webserver (/var/www/html/mediawiki). I may be a neophyte with mediawiki but I am not a neophyte as far as webservers are concerned.

You should be more specific about neither one works. What error message do you get?

You should look at the apache error log to see what physical path it's trying to access, so you can check if it's looking at the right place, or if it has sufficient permissions to read the files.

Thanks for all your help. I solved the problem - it was selinux. It didn't like the addition of the mediawiki directory and files under /var/www/html. Stupid thing.  :-\
