Peter Blaise (of all people!) responds: Hi and welcome, Matt. Sounds frustrating. RTFM - read the factory manual! So, what page of the owner's instruction manual are you having difficulty with? Hahaha - just kidding. ;-)

But seriously, Matt, tell us more.

You say: "installing mediawiki" - what version?

You say: "on my server" - what server? Remote ISP? Local Windows 2000? Intranet Linux and you're at a connected workstation?

You say: "it's saying" - who does the pronoun "it" stand for? It could be one of many layers underneath MediaWiki. MediaWiki depends on: - an operating system (Windows, Linix...) - web server (Microsoft IIS, Apache...), - PHP, - a SQL RDBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL...), ... and so on. The message could be coming from anywhere. Tell us how much of the support stuff you have successfully running without error messages. For instance, can you get the PHP install and config screen in your browser before you even download MediaWiki?

So, Matt, bring us to the exact point in your specific environment, and we'll see what we can do to find out what's awry!
