I've tried installing mediawiki 1.4.7 multiple times already with different settings; can anyone advise me on getting this working (or is Mediawiki 1.5 coming soon without these issues?
Try installing 1.5beta3 and see.
Result: config gives Fatal errors (reported in separate email).
(Q) Is it possible that php 5.0.4's default is to use the new 4.1 mysql passwords?
Might be, or it might not; I haven't tested FC4 to see how they've compiled it. Set up a script like this:
<?php phpinfo() ?>
And check the MySQL section for the client library version. The MediaWiki 1.5 installer should include a warning message if it detects the older version.
mysql: Client API version 4.1.11 mysqli: Client API version 4.1.11
Let me know if I should send the whole output.
... in which case forcing mysql to use the old passwords is a problem?
Try also disabling turck & memcache.
do you mean: in mediawiki config, select no caching; or do you mean, make sure the machine doesn't load them at all?
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.4.7/includes/User.php on line 716
That probably shouldn't happen, but sounds harmless. Where exactly did you get this?
When trying to re-run the config/index.php file, instead of moving on with 'success!' the config/webform page is refreshed with those error messages between the list of detected stuff and the section of text input forms.
and other complaints which I assume have to do with attempting to create already created databases and/or users.
Can you include those? Rerunning the installer after a successful installation will only run updaters, not creation of tables.
Well, when the sql root user has either new- or old-style password, I can no longer get past the config file:
===============================before:========================== MediaWiki 1.4.7 installation
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. Checking environment...
* PHP 5.0.4: ok * PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation may fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... ok. * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Turck MMCache installed * Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Found GD graphics library built-in. * Installation directory: /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.4.7 * Script URI path: /wiki ================================================================
Check the PHP error log. If there is not a PHP error log by default, find php.ini and set one up.
ok on retrying the 1.4.7 config, with no caching and all passwords the same, I am getting in http/logs/error_log: (which php errors are reported to)
