I reinstalled the mediawiki using the same technique I used last time. I had to reinstalled because an admin username was not installed my previous attempt. I'm almost sure I simply forgot to put in the admin's password into the passowrd field. THis attempt at installing mediawiki is having the same error as before, even when i'm using /w/ as the install directory. I'm thinking the problem is with creating the user admin during the installation. Why else wouldn't it work now?

I learnt something new today.
A post by the person having the problem seemed to imply the problem was fixed when he made this change, do you know why this would be or what would cause the problem in the first place?

You appear to have used a non standard instillation directory /wiki/ rather than /w/ is it too late to fix this? The installer may make assumptions as to the install directory which
is
being broken by the above issue, can anyone else comment on this?
I can, and I'm afraid to say it's bollocks. MediaWiki doesn't care where it's being installed, and "/wiki/" is not "non-standard", because there is no standard.
