Hi there fellow MediaWiki users
I am running Ubuntu Dapper-Drake with PHP 5.1.2 and Apache 2. The current MediaWiki package available from the Ubuntu Repositories is "mediawiki_1.4.14-1ubuntu1_all.deb", which is a number of versions behind. Of course when you install with the .deb package it runs smoothly as PHP 5 was not necessary with MediaWiki 1.4.14. I have placed the MediaWiki files in the document root for apache. I browse to http://192.168.0.2/wiki/ and it tells me MediaWiki 1.7.1, Please setup http://192.168.0.2/wiki/config/index.php the wiki first. When I click setup the wiki http://192.168.0.2/wiki/config/index.php I get the following error:
"PHP 5.0.0 or higher is required. ABORTING."
Please help?!
Thanking you in advance!

Well, as the message says 1.7.x requires PHP 5.0. You need to either upgrade to PHP 5, or install the latest 1.6.x version of mediawiki instead.
I gave up on the debian packaged mediawiki on my Ubuntu system since it is so far behind.

Create a PHP test file in the same server, and check the output of the function "phpversion".
