After installing Debian 9 after a hard-drive died I'm now having
problems getting my local installation of mediawiki up and running. I'm
using this page as my guide [1] and copied and pasted the stanza "sudo
apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php php-mysql libapache2-mod-php
php-xml php-mbstring" and installed everything for a 'stretch'
installation.
This was not an upgrade of my OS but a straight install using the
'stretch' net-install.iso.
I have installed 'php-xml:all 1:7.0+49' and 'php7.0-mbstring:amd64
7.0.19-1' but the "http://localhost/mediawiki/" is saying -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
MediaWiki 1.28 internal error
Installing some PHP extensions is required.
Required components
You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki requires to run. Please
install:
mbstring (more information)
xml (more information)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So what versions are required then please for a successful mediawiki
local installation please?
Thanks
Sharon.
