Aaargh....! Didn't look at the last bit closely enough...
I've created the MySQL database joshua-w_wiki previously, but it's empty (0 items in it). Am I supposed to insert something inside it for it to work? I had assumed MediWiki would create whatever was supposed to go in there when the time came...
Okay, now there are 29 items in joshua-w_wiki, so I guess we're going in the right direction. In this last session, I had inserted joshua-w_wiki (the user, not the database) into the "Superuser account" field of the MediaWiki 1.6.5 Installation screen, with the appropriate password. Should I have used something else? I don't have (access to) a username named Root here. Come to think of it, my usual access account name is just plain joshua-w, maybe I should be using that as the Superuser account...
Aaaaarghhhh...! So many fiddly-bits to get confused by...
Well, just tried it with joshua-w as the Superuser. Same results...
