I have followed the instruction from the website "igeek" and installed the "mediawiki" (the installation software say "successful" or something like that).
When I go to "http://localhost/wikipedia/" (I install the program under var/www/wikipedia) the browser display a "blank screen" and I suppose that is normal because I have not put any data there yet (I may be wrong here and please confirm my understanding).
I then proceed to down load the "data base dump" by pointing my browser to http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20091009/enwiki-20091009-pages-articles... but it report with ERROR 403: Forbidden!
I recalled that in a previous attempt (i.e. about 20 minutes before I started the installation) I have been able to browse the page but at that time I don't know which file to download so I just quit.
I would be much appreciated if someone tell me how to get hold of the "data base dump file", thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Victor Mong

Hi all,
Forget about the "download data-dump problem" as I have download another data-dump file from a different pc.
As for the "blank screen", I think I have installed php because when I type in "apt-get install php5" the pc reply with "php5 is already the newest version". And the output of "uname -a" is as follow (just in case if someone asked);

What does your error_log say ?
Dear Platonides,
Thanks for your advise, being a newbies I don't know where to look for the "error_log". Kindly show me where to look for the information, thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Victor

It basically depends on your setup. It is "wherever php writes your errors". It can be a file specified in php.ini, such as /var/log/php-errors.log, the place where apache logs the errors (eg. /var/log/httpd/error_log)...
Hi Platonides,
Thank you very much for your help. I followed your direction and find the "error_log" in /var/log/apache2 where it reveals the permission of the "/w" directory is drwxr-xr-x.
After I changed it to "0777" (I don't know if that is the right values, please confirm) and then the "main page" appeared, million thanks!
Best regards,
Victor
