MediaWiki

[Diez2]

When I copy all the MediaWiki files, and then go to the directory in my web browser to formally install the wiki, I click "set up the wiki." It then is supposed to run a script that starts out by detecting the PHP version (which it does), and then it's supposed to find what sql drivers are installed in php. Here's where it freezes. Nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what's going on and how I can complete the installation?

Same has happened to me!

Although ive been trying to alter the install script to skip out the checking, unfortunately its something after the php version check and then after taking that out all the rest goes well, tries to load the form but is missing info about the database type - accidently took that out

Also after deleting just the php version I get

Warning: dl() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/jeffreyn/public_html/wiki/config/index.php on line 272

Yep, if unziped the original file and then just removed the error reporting line it now shows the php version and then the above error. Except, change the line to 278!

Now removed the dl() part of it when checking the database connection, it now shows

' * PHP 5.2.3 installed

Notice: Undefined variable: olderrornum in /home/jeffreyn/public_html/wiki/config/index.php on line 284

i think ill take a crack at this, when u unzip its a folder right? Well if it is, then go into that folder and take all of those files and put them into ur www not the 1 folder itself but the contents in it, so they are scattered in www.

Doesnt matter, found a fix, will post the file in a minute, just gotta make a few changes, made it so I didnt need to fill anything in on the form, just click next - aka need to delete all my wiki and db details.

Attachment Added: Unzip the file and override the existing index.php in the /config/ folder.

Also make sure that all other MediaWiki files and folders are uploaded, I accidently left out the languages so it was stuffing up a lot more .

It should now work, it will probably complain about something but will continue, it wont affect the end result!
