hi,
there seems to be a small glitch with the diff3 handling:
if the system has a non-gnu diff3 (like solaris by default), the call to diff3 does not work, and the page is empty after the save. apache log shows than "usage: diff3 file1 file2 file3".

I also had this problem. Replacing diff3 with gnu diff3 fixed the problem.
Add a line to LocalSettigs.php with the correct path to gnu diff3, for example:
$wgDiff3 = '/opt/sfw/bin/gdiff3';
tx, i did it already. but it would be great to include an operating system error check in the fallback code.

I am having some trouble installing my mediawiki. After I finish te installation and visit the wiki the server does not responds. Doesn't even gives an error report, just loads stops and stays in the same page as before.
I have no idea where to ask this so pardon me for repeating this message. I really wish t make it run.

If you have FireFox, try the Live HTTP Headers plugin. It is immensly helpful.
What is the text that it tells you to include in an error report?

Thanks for answering (i was losing all hope :) )
I did not include it in the last one afraid it would be a too long email. Well I've installed the firefox live headers, but the page has no header information (even if it had i am not sure what i would be looking for).
I've installed 1.4rc1 (thanks brion), but I had tried the previous stable version and got the same results. Mozilla and ie says nothing and safari tells me it " can't load the page because there is no data on it" The error report did not really include any error, it follows below (the "already exists" must be because I've deleted/reinstall some many times...)

Success! Move the config/LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki.

Alexandre, it looks like your web server process is crashing:
$ telnet www.wanderingabout.com 80 Trying 200.58.112.90... Connected to www.wanderingabout.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET /kiwi/index.php/Main_Page HTTP/1.0 Host: www.wanderingabout.com
Connection closed by foreign host. $
No result whatever is returned, which is usually a sign that the web server process has crashed, closing the connection before any output is sent. A message about this should show up the the web server's error log.
If this is a shared server, you need to talk to your system administrator for further help diagnosing the problem.

I did that and they've replied that I should disable Output compression. That should be done during installation or can it be done hand-editing the php files on the site?
Thanks Alexandre (I searched about this on the web before posting, are the list archives googable?)
Brion:

Sys Administrator: "We think that the source of the problem is in the line "• Have zlib support; enabling output compression.", because we have an incompatibility between mod_ssl and some compression libraries wich ones send to browser wrong http headers, so you should try to install mediawiki without output compressing."

I'm just installing 1.4.0 and I've run the install script and it's telling me to move the above file from /config/ to the parent directory, but all I've got in the config folder is index.php. What am I missing?

Nothing. What is the text it tells you to send with an error report?

To disable output compression, take out this bit:
## Compress output if the browser supports it if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) @ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' );
Alexandre (I searched about this on the web before posting, are the list archives googable?)
Yes; put site:mail.wikipedia.org into your google search.

Hi,
Sorry to bother with this type of issue, but I can't setup the mediawiki.
I tried with mediawiki 1.3.1, and 1.4. I uploaded the tar file on the server, and untared it there, without any problem. I changed the chmod of the config directory to 777.
When I enter to "setup" link with the browser, I receive this message: "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." I had the same problem with mediawiki 1.3.1 and 1.4
Some more infos:
Apache/2.0.48 (Fedora) MySQL 3.23.58 PHP 4.3.4
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas

You mean an HTTP 500? Or some kind of PHP error?
I really hope you mean 1.3.11 and 1.4.0.
I also believe it is recomended (if you can) to upgrade to MySQL 4.1.

Thanks for your quick answer, Jamie,
Yes, I meant 1.3.11 and 1.4.0, It is a 500 error The error log shows that: [Tue Mar 22 12:31:24 2005] [error] Premature end of script headers: php-script, referer: http://www.xxx/wiki/
Don't know if I have the right to upgrade to MySQL 4.1 Do you know a good hosting company for this type of installation?

4.1 has some compatibility problems. Do *not* upgrade to MySQL 4.1 at this time if you don't specifically need it.
I'd recommend MySQL 4.0 over 3.2.x, but a current 3.2.x should still work.

Ok, so what could be the source of the problem?
Should I ask to my hosting company?

A 500 error generally means there's some basic low-lying configuration problem. Check Apache's error logs; if you're unable to do this yourself ask the hosting company to take a look.
Does this happen _only_ when the directory is world-writable? Does it not have an error if the directory is not writable?

" Does this happen _only_ when the directory is world-writable? Does it not have an error if the directory is not writable? "
No, it gives me a permission error if the directory is not writable.

Does it help?
