Thanks so much for your speedy response!
As it turned out, my problems were solved with MediaWiki 1.4.3 beta3 - even while running MySQL 4.1...
(yes I did mean PHP 4.3.10 =)
Thanks so much!

FreeBSD 5.3 MediaWiki 1.3.9
I recommend you try MediaWiki 1.4.beta, as many installation problems are resolved.
MySQL 4.1.7
There are many problems with MySQL 4.1. Use 4.0 if you don't need 4.1.
Check that PHP was compiled with the MySQL 4.1 client libraries: make a script with <?php phpinfo() ?> and check for the MySQL section and see what client version it lists. If it's not 4.1.something, you will probably have problems. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html for some background and hints. You can recompile PHP and force it to use the installed client libraries to update it.
MySQL 4.1's character set options may also cause trouble, particularly if its default charset is set to UTF-8.
PHP 4.1.10
I hope you mean 4.3.10! :)
Check for potential problem settings like safe_mode, open_basedir, etc. Check the MySQL client above.
