I just installed MediaWiki 1.6.3. It all seems to have gone okay, with the exception of an error message at the top of the browser window:
Warning: socket_sendto() Host lookup failed [-10001]: Unknown host in wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1504
I checked out the offending line, and it appears to be trying to open a socket to a machine called "webster" to do some kinds of statistics logging. I commented the line out and everything seems to work just fine.
What's going on here?

Is this big brother "Mediawiki" watching????

The wfIncrStats() function starts with:
if ($wgDBname != 'enwiki' and $wgDBname != 'dewiki' and $wgDBname != 'commonswiki' and $wgDBname != 'testwiki') return true;
Does your wgDBname happen to be one of these, perhaps "testwiki"?

Looks like Domas accidentally committed a live debugging hack while fixing something else. I've removed it on trunk and REL1_6 branch.
If you're affected, 'svn up' if you checked out the source from Subversion or apply this patch:
