I've tried repeatedly to install a fresh copy of 1.3.0 on my server, but I get a very strange problem. I enter the appropriate information into the fields (no SQL root pw), and click "install". Some text shows up, the browser indicates "Done", but no LocalSettings.php file is generated, and

Yes, that's pretty suspicious. A successful installation will end with this text:
Success! Move the LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki.
It would help if you could include the complete output of the installation process, so we might guess which part of the install was the last one that said "done".
when using a manually generated LocalSettings.php, I receive a 404 error upon access of "index.php/MainPage". This problem occurs whether or not I delete the tables, delete/re-upload the files, etc. I have set CHMOD 777 onto the /config/ directory as instructed.

- PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title)
When using PHP as a CGI module, the index.php/Main_Page style URL *will not work* without additional configuration (such as setting up mod_rewrite). Try index.php?title=Main_Page
