Hi,
I'm following the instructions at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows#Installing_... to install a wiki on my computer and seem to have made it through everything except the very end.
When I try to access http://localhost/mediawiki/, I get the following error:
----- Warning: main(./includes/WebStart.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\OTW\MediaWiki\index.php on line 4
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/WebStart.php' (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\TSW\Apache2\php\pear\pear') in C:\OTW\MediaWiki\index.php on line 4 -----
I've got TSW Control Center working under http://localhost:3000/, and http://localhost/ shows a folder called MediaWiki. When I try to click on the folder I get the same error as above, but the files appear to be there.
I'm operating on Windows XP. I installed TSW (The Saint WAMP). On my C drive, I set the directory OTW, under which I have the subdirectory MediaWiki, with all 884 files, which seem to have the appropriate files. All the Apache services appear to be working.
It seems like something simple, but I can't solve it. Can anyone help me with this?

It sure was simple! I had opened the zip file in Windows and copied and pasted rather than extracting. The result was that I lost the file structure.
What tripped me up was that I interpreted (./includes/WebStart.php) to mean a parameter of include rather than a subdirectory of include. BB

One more follow-up: I just got an error saying at least PHP version 5.0.0 is required. Hopefully that will be an easier fix than this one was. BB
