The problem looks exactly like a problem outlines in this bug report: http://www.mail-archive.com/wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg06379.html with an explanation here: http://www.mail-archive.com/wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg06625.html My guess is that this bug was fixed in later versions of Mediawiki but still exists for PHP 5.3.x for Mediawiki 1.13.0 and since you are using PHP 5.3.2 you are seeing the bug. Maybe someone else can confirm this. You might want to install Mediawiki 1.16.2 (latest version) to verify that you can run the most recent version on your system. If you can then try a reinstall of 1.13.0. If the problem persists and you need 1.13.0 you probably need a different version of PHP. If you have a system with an older version (before 5.3.0) of PHP you might want to try installing 1.13.0 there as well. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: nqueralt(a)clinic.ub.es [mailto:nqueralt@clinic.ub.es] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 10:36 AM To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] I CAN NOT INSTALL MEDIAWIKI Hi Jim, Thanks for your fast reply.

Ok, then, what I have to do, delete this line on: includes/Setup.php : 244 - $wgParser = new StubObject( 'wgParser', $wgParserConf['class'], array( $wgParserConf ) ); And add this one: + $wgParser = new $wgParserConf['class'] ($wgParserConf); I'm not sure..

At the moment I tried the little fix thing that could have side effects and I attached you the print of the screen of the mozilla once refreshed (not blan know :-)) Is it the correct Main Page of mediaWiki?

The person who wrote it says it simply fixed the problem but it obviously was not thoroughly tested, so it might have side effects. If this does not work I think you have two options: 1) Downgrading your PHP to 5.2 as Bill Traynor explained in his message. 2) Use a newer version of Mediawiki. You might try the latest minor version of 1.13, which I believe is 1.13.5, which might have fixed this problem but still be compatible with your USCS genome browser. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: nqueralt(a)clinic.ub.es [mailto:nqueralt@clinic.ub.es] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 11:10 AM To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] I CAN NOT INSTALL MEDIAWIKI Ok, then, what I have to do, delete this line on: includes/Setup.php : 244 - $wgParser = new StubObject( 'wgParser', $wgParserConf['class'], array( $wgParserConf ) ); And add this one: + $wgParser = new $wgParserConf['class'] ($wgParserConf); I'm not sure..

You could try downgrading PHP to 5.2, which seems to have fixed the "PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getCacheTime() on a non-object" for some in the past. Note that I googled "PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getCacheTime() on a non-object" to learn this and am unsure whether it's still relevant, but my wiki uses 5.2.14-pl0-gentoo (apache2handler) so I know it works. Here are instructions for Linux: http://www.badzilla.co.uk/openSUSE-11.2-Downgrade-PHP-5.3-to-5.2 <http://www.badzilla.co.uk/openSUSE-11.2-Downgrade-PHP-5.3-to-5.2> On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 10:35, &lt;nqueralt(a)clinic.ub.es&gt; wrote:
