FYI, I ran into an error the other day when I tried installing a new wiki using the MediaWiki software on a remote server. The error occurred on line 114 of install.php, which currently reads as follows:
$rconn = mysql_connect( $wgDBserver, "root", $rootpw );
I got it to work by changing the line to the following:
$rconn = mysql_connect( $wgDBserver, $wgDBuser, $rootpw );

The install script currently is a little fascistic. ;) It assumes you have total control over your system: * shell access * command-line PHP interpreter * root access to the MySQL server * will be installing into a fresh database to be created, which will have nothing else in it
