Aha. IIS. Now, I've had a similar problem before. Open
LocalSettings.php and find the lines like:
# If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs
$wgArticle = "$wgScriptPath/index.php/$1";
#$wgArticle = "$wgScriptPath/index.php?title=$1"
Comment the first line (the "pretty" URLs) and uncomment the second
("ugly URLs"). Something tells me this might sort the problem out.

the file is present and readable.
all the files from the tarball are there, index.php in MediaWiki root directory (in the same folder as LocalSettings.php - "/wiki" in your example).

And yes, I forgot about the environment :)
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2
Web server: IIS 5.1
PHP 5.1.1
MySQL 5.0.16
MediaWiki 1.5.2
Browsers: Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 (the case is the same with both)
Thanks
Peter

Let's just confirm a couple of things first. I'll assume that /wiki
corresponds to the directory in which you placed MediaWiki.

There is a /wiki/LocalSettings.php file and it's readable (by the

web server process)
2. All required files (from the distribution tarball) are present;
index.php in particular
Also, please tell us what web server you're running; and what versions
of PHP and mySQL.

Hi,
I have installed MediaWiki 1.5.2, and run the configuration script. It said it could not write the file LocalSettings.php, and printed the file itself. I have pasted the text into LocalSettings.php, as suggested. Then moved it from the config folder into the wiki root folder. And now I have no idea, what's next? If I go to that server in my browser, the URL's transformed into http://server/index.php/Main_Page, and I get the HTTP 404 page. How can I create the very first page? What should be its name and where should I place it? Or is there some configuration step missing?
Can you give me some help?
Thanks a lot,
Peter
