It started to work. Somehow it seems like MediaWiki didn't honor the include_path correctly.
Can you check the path in the two statements right above it? Is it correct? Can you confirm that all directories above the present one can be traversed? If not, try setting $IP to ".". This probably will cause other problems, but give it a whirl.
This is probably correct, I have no write access to /tmp, nor is any TMP variable set for PHP to point somewhere else. Is this needed for running MediaWiki?
Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be printing that error message. ;) The PHPTal template used for the user interface requires a temporary directory to store the compiled template.
It will attempt to fall back to the 'images' directory if that's writable and there's no TMP set.
