mediawiki page won't load - fedora 16, MediaWiki version 1.18.2

I created a mediawiki page and it was completely working and I had multiple pages within it. When I edited the $wgLogo = " "; to something I wanted (I put the link to the picture within " ")

I had to edit the logo on the top right but now I can't even load any of my pages, I may have touched something biacsident in my LocalSettings.php file.

Here are the contents of my file: (I edited a part of a comment and made a link into a broken link so I could post)

Code:
<?php

# This file was automatically generated by the MediaWiki 1.18.2
# installer. If you make manual changes, please keep track in case you
# need to recreate them later.
#
# See includes/DefaultSettings.php for all configurable settings
# and their default values, but don't forget to make changes in _this_
# file, not there.
#
# Further documentation for configuration settings may be found at:
# Manual:Configuration settings - MediaWiki

# Protect against web entry
if ( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) {
        exit;
}

## Uncomment this to disable output compression
# $wgDisableOutputCompression = true;

$wgSitename      = "franklinwiki";
$wgMetaNamespace = "Franklinwiki";

## The URL base path to the directory containing the wiki;
## defaults for all runtime URL paths are based off of this.
## For more information on customizing the URLs please see:
## Manual:Short URL - MediaWiki
$wgScriptPath       = "/wiki";
$wgScriptExtension  = ".php";

## The protocol and server name to use in fully-qualified URLs
$wgServer           = "http://localhost";

## The relative URL path to the skins directory
$wgStylePath        = "$wgScriptPath/skins";

## The relative URL path to the logo.  Make sure you change this from the default,
## or else you'll overwrite your logo when you upgrade!
$wgLogo             = "$wgStylePath/common/images/wiki.png";

*By uncommenting those two lines, when accessing mediawiki it will display in the address bar as:

<span style="color: red; text-decoration:">http://localhost/wiki</span>

and wiki skins will be enabled


The following below is the contents of the <span style="color: blue;  text-decoration:">"/etc/httpd/conf.d/mediawiki.conf" </span>  file

That's all :/ Not sure why this happened. I posted this somewhere else on the forums because I wasn't sure as to where this thread should have been made, I apologize in advance.

Presumably you installed this from somewhere, why not restore to the original?

I have information on some of my pages that I need to recover, if i restore I'll lose anything, if I have to do it I will but if theres a way around it, maybe someone could compare their file with mine with that version (i think its the latest) then I might beable to save all my data.

If you could post again using code tags this time, then I'd be able to see which bits were supposed to be which files and which parts.
# 5  
Old 04-10-2012
isn't it in code tags right now?
# 6  
Old 04-10-2012
Because I put it there, yes, but I didn't know your intention. There's things in there which might be invalid syntax, or you trying to point something out or you trying to split it into other files. I can't tell.

ah, well it's all 1 file (LocalSettings.php) from /var/www/wiki

I edited the
PHP Code:
$wgLogo             "$wgStylePath/common/images/wiki.png"
portion of that file but I also think I may have touched something else within that file, I'm pretty sure there's something I either deleted or am using the wrong syntax like you said. Hopefully I can find someone who can compare.
