you could try this: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentation:Installation look for the sourceforge installation, this matches your situation altough it's not called sourceforge in your case ;-)
also have a look here: http://lmuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Login_problem i wrote down some problems i had with my installation.
also you don't need the register globals from 1.2++ not anymore!
good luck, keep trying mediawiki ist probably the best thing i ever used online ;-)
Hello List. My name is Pietro, and I have tried the whole day to install mediawiki without success. The main problem is that I don't have root access to the mysql.
I am being hosted by: http://www.pchighway.com/ Which have some cool caratteristics (or so it seem at my inexperienced eyes): http://www.pchighway.com/hosting.htm and http://www.pchighway.com/plan_starter.htm
PHP 4.3.3 (With Zend Optimizer 2.1.0) MySQL 4.0.15 (2 databases) OS Version FreeBSD 4.9
So, in theory I should have the cards to make the mediawiki work (which was the reason why I bought the account in the first place!)
I'll explain all the relevant actions I did, so it is easier for you to help me: I downloaded mediawiki-1.2.3.tar.gz Untarred, and unzipped in my computer. ftp-ed in the directory /wiki (that is: http://www.mysite.org/wiki )
I changed the chmod so that anybody could do everything everywhere (is called trust), and I went to the directory /wiki
You'll have to set the wiki up first! sure.
MediaWiki 1.2.3 installation Checking environment... PHP 4.3.3 ok PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) Have zlib support; enabling output compression. Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. Installation directory: /usr/home/ourpieee/public_html/wiki Script URI path: /wiki
I complete the form, except for the sqlroot that I don't have, and he does not like it. I go on the site and I create the database, and the user, and the password. SO now those things are created from outside. I go back to my form... and he stills asks me for the root password. I try to give him my user password, but he trats it as a random password (unpleasent after all the time I needed to think that up!)
So I decide that I cannot use the install from the web, and I go to the file.
And if before I had problem, now... wow! I take the AdminSettings.sample and LocalSetting.sample, change what I think is right:
$wgDBadminuser = "pietrosperoni"; $wgDBadminpassword = "..." ;)
Now, it seems that the problem comes here: I tried both: $IP = "/wiki"; $IP = "/wiki/includes";
And I got:
Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/wiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (.:/tmp:/home:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/home:/usr/local/bin/) in /usr/home/ourpieee/public_html/wiki/LocalSettings.php on line 32

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wfprofilein() in /usr/home/ourpieee/public_html/wiki/index.php on line 51
As soon as I entered in the wiki directory. What should I do?
BTW, the frontend panel of the sql has all sort of privileges that can be granted to users:
User: ourpieee_wikiuse Db: ourpieee_wikidb Privileges: ALL ALTER CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES CREATE DELETE DROP SELECT INSERT UPDATE REFERENCES INDEX LOCK TABLES
I am very perplexed.
Sorry if it was long, but I thought you probably needed all those data, to help me. MANY thanks for who ever can answer.
Pietro
