Now, whenever I try to setup MediaWiki (from scratch), I'll configure it with no problems (At least, so it says), but after I run the install script from the /config directory and click on the 'Your wiki is setup! Now go on to your wiki' link, it sends me to the index.php of the main directory. But it only gives me a blank page in Internet Explorer. Refreshing doesn't help. I've tried manually fixing the problem but I have no clue what's causing it. But it happens after the 'include_once('Localsettings.php');' is run in the Index.php.
Okay, I've installed MediaWiki 1.2.4 onto my WinXP Professional box, and it's working fine so far. I'm using Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4 setup as CGI, MySQL 4.0.16 on a separate linux box, with a pre-created empty database[1]. Here's the report from the installer:
MediaWiki 1.2.4 installation Checking environment... PHP 4.3.4 ok PHP server API is cgi-fcgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title) Have zlib support; enabling output compression.

Success! Move the LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki. [1] To create a database: mysql -u root -p mysql> CREATE DATABASE winwiki; mysql> GRANT ALL on winwiki.* TO winwiki@<machine's ip> IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
