I have followed the instruction from the website "igeek"

I then proceed to down load the "data base dump" by pointing my browser to http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20091009/enwiki-20091009-pages-article… but it report with ERROR 403: Forbidden!

"http://localhost/wikipedia/" (I install the program under var/www/wikipedia) the browser display a "blank screen"

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-article… 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!

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); Linux A70 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:05:14 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Best regards, Victor Mong

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
