[R-sig-mediawiki] Installation Trouble - getCmd() issue?

If you look at extbase.php, you will find:

function extractUrl ($input) {
# Suse Linux:  /srv/www/htdocs
#   TeachWiki: /srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki/teachwiki
#   StatWiki:  /srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki/statwiki
# Debian:      /var/www
  $exparr = array('www', 'htdocs', 'statwiki', 'teachwiki');

In $exparr is stored when to assume that the wiki directory starts. In 
your case you should add a 'html' such that

  $exparr = array('www', 'htdocs', 'statwiki', 'teachwiki', 'html');

Maybe this solves also your extbase.php problem, but I'am not sure. In 
worst case include the absolute path into Rext.php (maybe with a 
include_once).

At my place nobody, but some users have contributed some code to the 
project. I will continue, if I change to a new mediawiki version. But up 
to now nobody reported errors with the mediawikis after 1.6.8 which I'am 
using.

Yours sincerely
