I tried installing the latest version of Media Wiki on my site which is using MySQL 4.0.22-standard, PHP 4.3.10 and Apache 1.3.33 (Unix). I'm getting an error regarding the SQL when installing:
--------------------------------- PHP 4.3.10: ok Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able. PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. PHP is configured with no memory_limit. Have zlib support; enabling output compression. Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object caching functions Found GNU diff3: /usr/bin/diff3. Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. Found GD graphics library built-in. Installation directory: /home/mysite/public_html Script URI path: PHP is linked with old MySQL client libraries. If you are using a MySQL 4.1server and have problems connecting to the database, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html for help. Trying to connect to MySQL on localhost as root... MySQL error 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) Trying regular user... ok. Connected to 4.0.22-standard; enabling MySQL 4 enhancements Error selecting database mysite_wikidb: 1044 Access denied for user: 'mysite_wikiuse@localhost' to database 'mysite_wikidb' ----------------
I have no idea what to do to get this to work on my site with the version of MySQL that is running. Do I need to use a different version of Media Wiki? Or is there something I can do to make this work?
