I've come across the same problem as you several times now. Last night
I spent some time debugging the code (ugg) and narrowed the problem
down to line 441 in file Template.php. It seems as though the fopen
call fails and nothing happens after that.
I'm assuming there is a php setting somewhere that can fix the cause of
this but i'm not too sure what or where.
Looking around for some info about fopen it seems that safe_mode and
open_basedir are two settings that can affect things. I don't have
safe_mode enabled and open_basedir isn't set to anything.
Anyone have a clue???
Cheers,

I've just downloaded RC3, and tried to install it,
but no luck. In
fact, I
get exactly the same result as with RC2. After successfully
completing the
installation process and moving the LocalSettings.php file from the
config
directory, I click in the link that's supposed to take me to the front
page,
and instead I get:
[pear_error: message="failed to open stream: Operation not permitted"
code=0
mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]
Here's the successful environment check:
--------------------------------
PHP 4.3.5 ok
PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
PHP is configured with no memory_limit.
Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled
if
you enable uploads.

Trying regular user... ok.
Connected to database... 4.0.20-log; enabling MySQL 4

Success! Move the LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory,

--------------------------------
It looks like a problem with pear, except...I have RC2 running
successfully
(brilliantly) on another of my websites on the same webserver (I have a
number of domains running within the same hosting environment). The
intention was to move the wiki from where it's working to a more
appropriate
domain, but I can't get it to work anywhere else, and a fresh, clean
install
gives me the exact same result.
PS No one except the web hoster has root access to the database
server, but
I didn't need it to get it working the first time. To summarise, all
domains
are on one honkin' big web server, all databases are on one honkin' big
database server. As far as I can tell, this is a pretty standard setup
for a
commercial hosting environment.
Any thoughts, anyone? I must have clean installed this software (RC2
and
RC3) close to a dozen times now, and only once has it worked...and
that one
works brilliantly, as I said.
