Hello, I install MediaWiki (Version 1.6.7, Hebrew interface), Apache 2.0.58, PHP 5.1.4 on Windows XP (Hebrew). After a lot of problems, I can run the MediaWiki, and edit pages as anonymous. But if I log in and then try to use the system, I got problems. Unless I am checked the Remember me check box, the identity lose immediately. If I check this option, then MediaWiki:session_fail_preview message is displayed when I try to save any page.
Open up the PHP configuration and check that session.save_path is pointing to a writable location; the default could be /tmp/something, which isn't valid under Windows.
Check also that sessions are switched *on*, and that session.auto_start is *off*.
