Thanks but I've completed all suggested steps and the install fails. What I immediately notice is that it incorrectly reports that the following PHP options are enabled:

- register_global - magic_quotes_runtime - magic_quotes_sybase - mbstring.func_overload - 'Safe' mode

Also LocalSettings.php does not get created and the language drop down box shows only '$name'. When I installed MySQL I let all accounts default (did'nt set any up). Could that cause problems?

Thanks

That should be it - however there's more to it than just renaming $IP/config/index.php to $IP/config/index.php5

You also have to search through the file itself for instances of "

index.php"

and change them to "index.php5", and also rename $IP/index.php to $IP/index.php5 as well.

I had to do this recently to get MW 1.9 to run on a GoDaddy hosting

account.
