I have just tried to install MediaWiki 1.3.11 on a virgin Fedora Core 3 box. It took me a while to figure out that I had to disable SELinux to get the config directory to be fully writable, so it might be documenting that for other users?

Anyway my problem is that MediaWiki does not get all the way through its installation script and create the LocalSettings.php file. MySQL is working and the DB looks fine if I examine it with phpMyAdmin. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
