still sorta confused about running those two together. my end goal is
to have simple urls like:

wiki.something.com/TheArticleThingie

right now under my current configs i get urls that look like this:

wiki.something.com/index.php/TheArticleThingie

which is *very close* but not quite.

To prove that i've done my share of "just google it"

i tried to cut&paste the configs from
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxMediaWiki and when i do an nginx -t it
gives and error:
