Yes, this was my process: - downloaded the files from the MW download page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download - used 7-zip to extract the files - used FileZilla to copy the contents of MW1.14 folder to the hosted site (first, I renamed /images folder, /extensions folder and /skins folder to preserve the customized contents; I renamed localsettings.php to localsettings-old.php) - opened the wiki in a web browser, and installed MW the usual way 'NS_FILE_TALK' in * /home/platfor1/public_html/wiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php**1930* on line * >> Notice*: Undefined variable: wgAjaxSearch in * /home/platfor1/public_html/wiki/includes/Setup.php* on line *272* Continued the process, since nothing seemed to be fatal...I am now re-thinking this decision... - moved localsettings.php from /config folder - deleted folders: /images, /extensions, /skins, and renamed previous folders - added my custom stuff to the localsettings.php file - launched the site constant 'FOR_THIS_USER' in * /home/platfor1/public_html/wiki/includes/Article.php* on line *440* This solved the problem: - delete all files on the hosted site (except /images folder, /extensions folder and /skins folder) - unzip the MW file again and copy the files to the hosted site - re-run the installation, and do the same cleanup as before It's all good now: http://lj.platformatyourservice.com/~platfor1/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Pag… < http://lj.platformatyourservice.com/%7Eplatfor1/wiki/index.php?title=Main_P… Let me know if you need additional info to debug. Btw, I've been a techwriter using FrameMaker/RoboHelp for 10+ years. My experience with MediaWiki has been exceptional. Although yes, there is a learning curve to master the nuances of building a MediaWiki site, my users get immediate gratification, compared to the WebHelp model that's locked into a software distribution cycle. MediaWiki is the best tool, ever. And, we're using it in a very different way to its' intended use: I created most of the content as a solo contributor, users don't login and have read-only privileges. Plus, we are supporting two products/brands with this one installation. Each site has different branding and content, thanks to skins, templates and parser functions. Thanks for consistently delivering such a robust, powerful tool.
