   I have WP installed in root in an already working fine site. I'd like to add a wiki (looking at Meidawiki). Are there any know issues installing mediawiki into a subdirectory off the root? (mysite.com/wiki)

   No, there's no issue. Just be sure you use a different table prefix for Wiki, or (this would be better) use a different database.

   Cheers

   If I'm not mistaken, there could be issues. Unless the root .htaccess is edited, WP may redirect all domain level traffic - which means that mysite.com/wiki could end up as a WP 404. If I'm right, you'd need to set up a redirect for the wiki folder above the WP rewrite rules.

   In the URL points to a specific file (/myfolder/myfile.htm), WP does not affect it, that URL will open even not being part of WP. But Esmi is right, if the path is not absolute, WP will return a 404 error. So u'd need to create a rewrite rule in your .htaccess, as Emis said.
