Thanks, I gratefully pick up all I can get!
I have no access to the MySQL or PHP log files - our wiki is installed on a remote server/webhotel. I would love to dig around more on my own - but I am not a programmer, and have next to little knowledge of the inner workings of MySQL or PHP - I'm a total noob when it comes to server configurations, even while I learn every bit of the way.
I'm just curious if this is normal. Wouldn't I receive a proper failure message, if/when the install script fails? Would installing MW 1.7 require more PHP memory than previous installments of MW, which installed perfectly even still complaining about the PHP memory-limit?
One thing confused me about the install-script - the bottom forms asking for a root user. Do I leave those fields blank, or prefilled with the "root" and the "-" ? I am not a root user, but the database user needed exists and nothing more should be neccessary?
Best wishes, Morten

Does this mean the installation failed on this account?
I have no access to changing the memory limit of PHP - previous versions of MW installed smoothlessly even if this failed, still generating a localsettings file and working fine.
Check the PHP and MySQL error logs to find out why it's stalled. You've been presented with one clue so far...
