FYI, I ran into an error the other day when I tried installing a new
wiki using the MediaWiki software on a remote server. The error
occurred on line 114 of install.php, which currently reads as follows:
$rconn = mysql_connect( $wgDBserver, "root",
$rootpw );
I got it to work by changing the line to the following:
$rconn = mysql_connect( $wgDBserver, $wgDBuser, $rootpw
);
