The tutorial you used is not written for Debian Jesse. As it is geared towards Ubuntu 12.04, the default web root for apache is shown as /var/www. On Ubuntu 14.04 and newer and Debian 8 (jesse) and newer the default web root is now /var/www/html

      Yes. You will simply need to change the symlink you created while following that tutorial and replace it with an updated one.

      unlink /var/www
mkdir /var/www
ln -s /etc/mediawiki /var/www/html

      The first line should remove the symlink.
      The second line will make the /var/www directory (that was previously a symlink)
      The third line will create a new symlink using the /var/www/html location instead of the outdated /var/www one.
