Editioninstall error
Hello -
I had success installing MW 1.15 using these instructions:
http://lifehacker.com/163707/geek-to-live--set-up-your-personal-wikipedia
And, I installed this flavor of WAMP:

Hope it works for you.

Has anyone got Mediawiki to work on Windows Vista Home Premium
Edition?

Thank you for your reply.
in the PHP.ini file that gets loaded, there is a
setting that
specifies
where the extensions are...
For example on my system (PHP 5.3 installed via WAMPServer) it is ...
extension_dir = "e:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext/" (Im running on
Windows)
o My installation is running on (or failing to run on) Windows Vista
Home
Premium.
o My PHP installation is at D:\php and the extensions are in D:\php
\ext.
o The PATH system variable shows that D:\php\ext is included.
o In the php.ini file, the extension_dir is set with this entry:
extension_dir=D:\php\ext
Also remember that there may be several PHP.ini
files
o My computer has exactly one php.ini file. It is located at d:\php
\php.ini.
I have verified this by using the file explorer's find file function.
If you enter the following in your webbrowser,
you'll see what the
PHP
info is being used for the webserver (which is what matters to
MediaWiki).
o This reports that the Loaded Configuration File is D:php\php.ini.

Charles,

Also remember that there may be several PHP.ini files - one that the
PHP
command line uses, and one that Apache (etc) uses.
If you enter the following in your webbrowser, you'll see what the PHP
info is being used for the webserver (which is what matters to
MediaWiki).
http://localhost/?phpinfo=1
(PS, replace localhost with the name of your webserver if not local).
I hope this helps,

Tell me if I understand correctly.
In order to use MySQL, PHP must load the extension php_mysql.dll.
This file is located in the "ext" subdirectory one level down from
the
root of the php install directory.
In order to load this file, the directory must be in the search
path. On
my computer, the directory is d:\php\ext
If I see "d:\php\ext" in my search path ( I type "echo %PATH%" and
<Enter> at a command window prompt to see it.), then PHP should be
able to
load this .dll.
I don't think php does it, although if it's in the PATH php may also
get
it.
PHP configuration is at file php.ini
Php should load php_mysql.dll when you have extension=php_mysql.dll on
the appropiate section there.
It expects to find that file at the folder pointed by extension_dir
