Hi,
I'm presently running Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit and I installed MediaWiki 1.24.1 via bitnami and it worked fine until I restarted my PC and now, even with my servers (Apache & MySQL, respectively) running (which I checked were running by running the manager-linux.run file in the MediaWiki directory. I even restarted them both manually) whenever I open up http://localhost:8080/mediawiki/ I get a blank page. Going to http://localhost:8080/ or http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin works fine and these pages load perfectly.
Thanks for your time, Brenton
Odds are bitnami broke something.
Many Linux distributions provide MediaWiki in a packaged format for that distro. These packages typically contain obsolete & unsupported versions of MediaWiki; they also like to move around & change files, & do other super-counterproductive things. You'll get the best support here if you install MediaWiki directly from one of our tarballs - https://www.mediawiki.org/ - or Git https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git

I'd love to but every time I've installed it from the tarballs in the past I end up failing miserably. I installed LAMP, I followed all the instructions online I could find but I failed on Windows and Ubuntu. This is why I used bitnami as a last resort.

I use MAMP (mac equivalent) and the reason you have to put in a port number is that the default port 80 is used your web browser and if I am not mistaken you wont be able to do any day to day browsing. Putting apache on a particular non standard port allows you to run the site on ones local machine for testing and development.

@Chris for me the prospect of having to pay after the first year is a deterrent I'd like a system that is free and will remain free.

Hi Brenton,
I use Bitnami, via the Amazon cloud, and have it found it to be the way to go. I suggest you switch to the Amazon cloud, it's free for the first year, as I recall, if you're small. Bitnami has a great and easy to use interface that you can turn on, off, clone, and create backups of your server on the Amazon cloud. To deploy an application, like Mediawiki, it's a GUI button interface that takes all of a few minutes. Since it's on the cloud you can turn off the server when you're not working on designing your new wiki. The only pain you'll have, like everyone else, is when you need to do an update, but that shouldn't be an issue for a while.
