Hello,
I've looked at the archive some, but I couldn't find an answer to me issues, so forgive me, I'm new here.
I've just installed version 1.16 and I'm getting some strange results. I suspect they may be related, but I'm unsure how or where I should look.
First issue, there is no theme (skin) being applied to my wiki. It's just a basic white page with text and links down the left side. You can see the test install I did at <wiki.mmj-ent.com>. Having installed version 1.15 I know this isn't right.
Second issue, I get this error when I click on the Special Pages link. "*Fatal error*: Class 'SpecialRandomredirect' not found in * /path/on/my/server/wiki/includes/SpecialPage.php* on line *390"*
To me it seems that a path may be defined incorrectly, but as I look at the LocalSettings.php file everything looks okay, and the path in the error is correct.
I'm also getting these results on two installs I've done, my test wiki that I posted above, and another domain I run <PBMGamer.com> where I've been trying to get a wiki going. You won't find a link to the wiki there yet because it's not live.
Any thoughts?

Indeed you have a path problem. The white page you linked indicates that the stylesheet can't be found. What path did you set while installing mediawiki?

My Browser obviously cannot read your CSS files. I only see strange symbols when I view the CSS. It might be a character encoding issue. How did you install? Did you transfer files by FTP?
I think it's not a path problem, that would give an error 404 (compare http://wiki.mmj-ent.com/skins/invalid/thereisnocss.css vs. http://wiki.mmj-ent.com/skins/common/shared.css).

My browser does find the CSS files (so probably no path problem), but analyzing them with Web Developer Toolbar shows that some of them are garbled, namely
http://wiki.mmj-ent.com/skins/common/shared.css http://wiki.mmj-ent.com/skins/common/commonPrint.css http://wiki.mmj-ent.com/skins/monobook/main.css
Looks like an encoding problem or the files got corrupted during FTP upload. I would recommend just uploading the skins directory again.

You have files which are just zeroes. Redownload mediawiki files, something went wrong.
I did as you suggested, and all seems to be fine now. Not sure what went wrong, sorry I didn't catch it myself. Thanks for your assistance.
