Hello list,
For my installation problem I will include the installation messages followed by my limited testing, and then a few specific questions.
*Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. *
- PHP 4.4.0 installed - *Warning:* *PHP's register_globalshttp://php.net/register_globalsoption is enabled. Disable it if you can. * MediaWiki will work, but your server is more exposed to PHP-based security vulnerabilities. - PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title) - Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. - PHP's memory_limit is 32M. *If this is too low, installation may fail!* - Have zlib support; enabling output compression. - Neither Turck MMCache http://turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net/ nor eAccelerator http://eaccelerator.sourceforge.net/ are installed, can't use object caching functions - GNU diff3 not found. - Found ImageMagick: /usr/local/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. - Found GD graphics library built-in. - Installation directory: /web/sites/_m/_i/_k/mikefearn.com/public/wiki - Script URI path: - Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.
*Generating configuration file...* - Database type: mysql - Attempting to connect to database server as sitedb...success. - Connected to 3.23.58-log -- mysql 4.0 or later required. Aborting.
This implies to me that the MediaWiki installer is being told the mysql intalled on the webserver is version 3.23.58 However when I ssh into the webserver and do mysql -V it comes up with
Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.13 for portbld-freebsd4.11 (i386) using readline 5.0
1) Which version (or versions) of mysql do people think is installed? 2) Can i run any commands to see if multiple versions are installed? 3) Can i change any settings in the MediaWiki installation or .htaccess to force which version of mysql is used?
More questions may be needed, but I'll use this as a starting point
Many Thanks Michael Fearn
