New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Wikimedia installation on windows XP (Oracle db) - Resending

26 Jul 2006

Hi,

Unfortunately the requirement is to use Oracle and not mySql. When I installed php
downloaded from php page 
then I atleast got the page that was letting me provide the configuration information. But
with Zend core the
setup page just says that it cant find a suitable driver (as shown below). Is there anyway
to get around this?

Thanks
Rajesh

 Hi Rajesh

 MySQL is recommended for mediawiki over other databases, which use is
 undocummented

 check the http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Installation#Prerequisite

 good luck

  Hi All,

 I am trying to setup wikimedia on windows using oracle database. I  installed
apache 2.0.58 and then installed
  zend core for oracle (zend core engine version
2.0.5 / php version 5.0.5).  I can connect to oracle using
  a test php program so that part is working fine.

 Now I downloaded Wikimedia and unzipped to apache/htdocs. When I try to  run the
setup all I am getting  is
  the message below.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------
 MediaWiki 1.7.1 Installation
 Don't forget security updates! Keep an eye on the low-traffic release 
announcements mailing list.
  Checking environment...
 Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation  problems.

 PHP 5.0.5 installed Could not find a suitable database driver!
 For MySQL, compile PHP using --with-mysql, or install the mysql.somodule
 For PostgreSQL, compile PHP using --with-pgsql, or install the pgsql.somodule

 -----------------------------------------------------------------

 What am I missing? Should I install mySql to make this work? Any  information will
be of great help.

 Thanks
 Rajesh
