Can I install Mediawiki when Concrete5 is in the root?

Permalink
I have a concrete5 site and I'm wondering if it's possible to install mediawiki to where when they have /wiki at the end of the URL it goes to the mediawiki installation. Then any mediawiki pages are found at websiteURL.com/wiki/(insert mediawiki page url here)

Is this possible? Is it simple? Does anyone know?

Entirely possible.
May be easiest in you put it in a subdomain. So mainsite.com and mainsite.wiki.com.
You will need to create the wiki install in a second database.
Use rules in .htaccess to direct between c5 and wiki.
Create an external page in c5 to link to it.
It may also be possible to have a single login between them.

If the above is confusing, don't try and do it yourself. Its not the kind of setup you can create with a few questions and the wisdom of google search. Get a developer.

If I were to find someone to help me, how would I make it so the wiki is at website.com/w

I'd rather have that URL setup than the wiki.website.com setup if possible. Does anyone know if this is possible? I tried as a test and with the wiki files extracted in /w it still just goes to a concrete5 404 page when I go to that. Is there any way to add an exception to concrete5 so it doesn't use concrete5 when going to that URL path? Anyone have any pointers for me?
