I have been following this discussion for the past few days and it seems to be going round in circles and getting no ware.
Your problems all seem to be related to the web server so I would start there http://httpd.apache.org/
When that's working you can setup PHP http://www.php.net/
Then MySQL http://www.mysql.com/
Finally MediaWiki
If you have any trouble before you get to the MediaWiki page I would suggest you contact the relevant forums or mailing lists relating to the piece of software that is causing you problems. Alternatively you can try a WAMP package http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wamp
And as you seem to be so keen on links this one might help. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wamp+setup+guide

Peter Blaise responds:
Daniel,
Please try LESS work and instead of arguing and telling me to hire "an expert" (as if I've had much luck finding any who are wiling to prove their value here! And, without a reference to a specific expert with which you've had success, well then, what's a referral good for anyway?!?), why not just respond with a LINK as was missing from your original posts, and was asked for?
A link, man, a LINK?!? That is all I ask for!
And when you Googled to resolve a conflict, since that was a departure from the "official instructions" can you help out with a link there, too?
A link, man, a LINK - that is all I ask for!
Please, Daniel. Way less work has been asked of you than you proffered here! No explanations or retributions needed. Save your energies, man!
Instead, how about simply sharing the 2 links YOU used to accomplish your success?
Thanks.
-- Peter Blaise
