Gene,
Thanks for the tip, but...
I dropped the existing wikidb, and ran setup again. In Safari I got the same "bad server response"-error. I dropped the created database again, and ran setup once again but with Internet Explorer for Mac and this resulted in :
MediaWiki 1.3.8 installation
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.
Checking environment...
- PHP 4.3.4: ok
- PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
- Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
- PHP is configured with no memory_limit.
- Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
- Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled
if you enable uploads.
- Installation directory: /Users/admin/Sites/mediawiki
- Script URI path: /~admin/mediawiki
- Connected as root (automatic)
- Connected to database... 4.1.7-debug; enabling MySQL 4 enhancements
- Created database wikidb2
- Creating tables... done.
- Initializing data...
- Granting user permissions...
Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the database server.
Thanks again for your support
With kind regards,
