Hi this wiki is giving me too many random errors to sort out and since its still early in its life and has a manageable small number of pages im going to copy the content from the edit pages and start again. So what i'd like to know is suggestions of what server/php/mysql versions or packages containing all three work well with mediaWIKI on windows. Has anyone had a beautiful error/stress free install? What version on mediawiki are you using etc?
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Regards Caspar

Hi Caspar,
I have a beautiful easy setup (that is all the problems I have are of my own making, not a failure of the install).
I run a 'WAMP' stack mainly (because I mostly have to work with Windows during business ours) but have comparable results on linux.
Windows XP SP2, UniServer project (http://www.uniformserver.com) which consists of: * Apache 2.0.54 * PHP 5.0.4 * MySQL 4.1.12a (as well as phpMyAdmin and Perl but I don't use those).
I have used MediaWiki 1.5 beta's 1, 2 and 3 on this setup.
Works OK (got my instructions from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_on_a_stick).
On Linux I have worked with1.5b1 and 1.5b3. I use whatever version my Slackware distribution offered. Most likely: Apache 1.3.29 PHP 4.something mysql 4.0.5 or 4.0.7 I am not sure.
In each case it was only a matter of following instructions ;-)

XAMPP http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html worked really well for me. But, like a lot of other all-in-one packages, you'll need to do some messing around to get it secure and production-ready.
As a test server (on my own XP system), it works wonderfully. It was easy to set up (although I did have some issues with MySQL not finding the logs). It includes everything you'll need, and comes with PHP5 and 4 (5 is default).
After installing it and doing some basic tests, try doing some digging. There's a lot in there.
