For testing, I am trying to install MediaWiki 1.4beta4 on Win XP, using Apache. The install script happily creates the tables and stuff, but then says:
"Converting links table to ID-ID... Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the database server. "
I am running MySQL 3.23.58-nt.
Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks, Peter

Can you confirm you have all the right files in place?

Is this an upgrade? From which version originally?

Does your database user have all necessary permissions? Did you create it manually or is it preexisting? Did you give a db root password or are you using only a local user account?
