Can anyone suggest what I should do next? Would I be better off reinstalling the package?
Or should I be looking for a missing, or empty, file here? I had no end of trouble getting all of the MediaWiki files up and onto my website, but I *thought* I'd gotten them all there intact.
The sites specs are:
FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE
mysql Ver 12.22 Ditrib 4.0.16
perl, v5.8.3
php 4.4.1
Did you get the file languages/LanguageUtf8.php correctly? Compare the file you have with http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_6_5/phase3/languages/Lan...
By the way, I think PHP 4 is officialy unsupported.

Okay, well I went back into my site and discovered alot of the files in the wiki dir and subdirs were 0 bytes. I have been having no end of trouble trying to get the application up onto the site, constantly losing the connection, but I thought I had check all of that.
Anyway, I got all the files up (knock wood) and tried the process again, with the following output:

Am I overlooking something here? Should I delete the old .php file from the config dir and *then* retry it?

Aaargh....! Didn't look at the last bit closely enough...
I've created the MySQL database joshua-w_wiki previously, but it's empty (0 items in it). Am I supposed to insert something inside it for it to work? I had assumed MediWiki would create whatever was supposed to go in there when the time came...
Looks like I'm in business... :-D
Not...

Okay, now there are 29 items in joshua-w_wiki, so I guess we're going in the right direction. In this last session, I had inserted joshua-w_wiki (the user, not the database) into the "Superuser account" field of the MediaWiki 1.6.5 Installation screen, with the appropriate password. Should I have used something else? I don't have (access to) a username named Root here. Come to think of it, my usual access account name is just plain joshua-w, maybe I should be using that as the Superuser account...
Aaaaarghhhh...! So many fiddly-bits to get confused by...
Well, just tried it with joshua-w as the Superuser. Same results...

Create a user and grant them permissions on the database, then use that username and password as the connection username and password during installation.
In some shared hosting setups, granting the user "all" permissions on the database is required so that the schema can be set up.

Well, in vDeck (Website administration Web interface), when I pull up the Databases screen, from what I see under the banner "set db permissions for user joshua-w_wiki" it appears I already have all the permissions set for the database joshua-w_wiki. I see checkboxes for Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Create, Drop, Index, and Alter, plus a Check All checkox that, when selected, causes all the other checkboxes to get checked.
It has been set to the above from the beginning.
Am I missing something here? Is there a hidden function or screen inside phpMyAdmin that further enables this stuff?

Well, doing a google on "grant-delete-insert-select-update-on failed" leads me to here:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/2005-August/010681.html
...where it states:
<quote> Log Message: Fix #1734: failed grant with usernames having a -. </quote>
Looks like this is the problem. I have a username with a dash in. Unfortunately, going without the dash is not an option: My webspace provider, when generating things for internal usage at the website, only gives me the option of appending something to the end of a fragment of username that has a dash in it, rather than generating a whole new username from the get go.
Is there a way around this can't-use-a-username-with-a-dash problem?

Under the theory that this might be an internal bug with MediaWiki itself, I have created a Bugzilla report on it, here:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6063
MediaZilla bug# 6063
I suppose any further discussion on it will take place there.
