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 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 version: 4.3.8 MySQL version: 4.0.20-standard-log
This is the output of the install webpage: - PHP 4.3.8: ok - Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able. - PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title) - Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. - PHP's memory_limit is 40M. If this is too low, installation may fail! - Have zlib support; enabling output compression. - Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. - Installation directory: /homepages/45/d95239576/htdocs/mwiki - Script URI path: /mwiki
Upon reading the source code output of the page, the html abruptly cuts off at the last entry, no </body> or </html> tag. This must indicate some kind of crash? Checking tables through phpMyAdmin shows that the relevant SQL tables have been generated.
I don't mind performing a manual install, if it is at all possible with 1.3.0, but I will need some guidance as to what data needs to be loaded.
Thanks for your help -Bryan
