What are you trying to accomplish?
I need to learn to install Mediawiki by myself. I have server for it.
Btw, installing this stuff on a server is generally much different than installing it on your local machine. Generally you use a some type of linux on the server which usually has a nice package manager to help you out.
This should not be a problem: I never had installed mediawiki at a local machine. But this is good idea; perhaps, I shold try.
What sort of server do you have?
Mac mini Server Late 2012 Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C3103)
I have copied directory mediawiki-1.21.0rc1 to the webroot and begin the set-up. I shoose the default oprions, and get the message
DB connection error: No such file or directory (localhost) Check the host, username and password and try again.
So, I create directory /a to store the database and I specify it instead of the "localhost" Then, the message changed to
DB connection error: php_network_getaddressses: getaddrinfo failed: nodename not servername provided, or not known (/a) Check the host, username and password and try again.
You may consider to provide some examples for the setup service: I really have no idea, where does Mediawiki keep the database, and what could be correct value for the "Database host". It seems to be impossible to guess.
