Yes, but I was taking it one step at a time. :-D

First up, looks like your web host has disabled changing a configuration directive MediaWiki *would like* to change. Go into /config/index.php, look for lines starting with "ini_set(" and add a // in front of them. Then go back and see if you get any *additional* errors.

Secondly, the software can't find a file it needs. Check that you uploaded everything from the tarball or CVS export; however you got the software.

Hi,

I'm having some problems with my wiki installation. I can't explain what happens but check out http://www.wyger.nl/usr/antichrist/ and press set up the wiki. What can I

do about that?

...

Also where can I download language packs?

THX,

External links need to be added in a different manner; the actual URL needs to go into a MediaWiki: page, e.g. MediaWiki:Mysite-url, which is then pointed to by the MediaWiki:Sidebar page.

Re-read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Navigation_bar as it contains specific tips on formatting for both internal and external links.

That page comes up blank.

That should have read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigation_bar

I'm trying to figure out how to add a mailto: link labeled "Contact us" in the Sidebar.

Add a line in the page MediaWiki:Sidebar on your wiki such as: ** contact-address|Contact us

and create a page MediaWiki:Contact-address with content such as: mailto:wikimaster@example.com

(There are slight variations you could use, but this should work, I think)

Hi,

...

That should have read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigation_bar

This page says to search for the Sidebar page, but when I do so I come up with nothing in the MediaWiki or any other namespace. Where is this page?

yourdomain/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar

Regards,

Hans
