I have created a link of file stored elsewhere in public_html directory and want to access it through the web. But When I am opening the directory in web, it does not contain the link to original file but it does contain all the files stored in public_html. How will the browser show the link to the stored file or any other approach to access the stored file?

Assuming I understand you correctly, you need to configure your webserver to follow symlinks.

I managed to download some JSON files from an 'API via CMD terminal in Windows 10. Now I have to use the keys inside these files to download other files from the API.
The question is: What is the procedure (a code sample) to make an API call with parameter from another JSON file? Then since there are many keys, I want to consolidate all the JSON files that will be downloaded into one.
I downloaded jq

I am trying to create an HTML form that submits a predetermined file upon the press of an input button. This file is not located on the machine running the html server, it is located on the end users machine. Idealy I would like a solution that is as light weight as possible.
As far as I know, it's not possible for a form to submit a local file without having the user select the file.
Browsers don't allow javascript (or other scripting technologies) to access the local file system, because it's a security risk.

I did a successful install of media wiki, but when I look to the root directory holding index.php I don't see localsettings.php
Where can I find this file? The documentation says that the default values are in includes/defaultsettings.php but I don't see that either.
My guess would be that you did something wrong in the installation. I would go ahead and try to install it a second time.

When I actually write in the wiki, where are the changes actually being stored?
I have searched the source code for keywords that i have actually written and i cant find it, which obviously means its being stored where it cannot be searched directly.
I have made changes to it i.e. written in it, but sourcetree does not seem to be recognising it.
Do you mean the site's contents? They are stored in a database file which is read and written by the code.
It would be quite unmaintainable, if not outright dangerous, to mix user-submitted data with executable code.
They are stored in a database table called page (or something similar)

When I wanna install mediawiki 1.18.2, at the beginning of the installation process it tells that "LocalSettings.php not found." and after clicking next a blank white page appears. It tried to find LocalSettings.php on my server but no such file existed. what should I do?
From the MediaWiki website installation instructions:
This is an index of all supported configuration options based on the DefaultSettings.php file.
Never edit DefaultSettings.php; copy appropriate lines to LocalSettings.php instead and amend them as appropriate.
Create your own LocalSettings.php by copying DefaultSettings.php, and then go through and delete the stuff you don't need/want.
