Hi there! I'm kinda new to all of this, and would appreciate it if any of you could help me out. I'm trying to install MediaWiki to:
http://singletrackwiki.thesteeps.net
I'm worried about going further in the setup process because of this gibberish (or maybe it's not gibberish?)
My server is GoDaddy, running on Linux, and running PHP vers. 4.3.11
Now, I've uploaded all of the contents of the mediawiki-1.5.2.tar into the directory that singletrackwiki.thesteeps.net directs you to. I now get this at the top of the page when I navigate to it (in Safari and Firefox, but not IE):
---------------------------------------- index.php"Q?2?2mBIN????Defines.phph?K??K?mBIN???DefaultSettings.php?<???????mBIN????SiteConfiguration.php ???????mBIN???, {{{flower image}}}
MediaWiki 1.5.2
You'll have to set the wiki up first! ----------------------------------------
I haven't even gotten to the main install form and this error occurs.
The main install form (when I click "set up the wiki") has the following (in Safari, Firefox, AND IE):
---------------------------------------- index.php±ƒ¿‡7<¿‡7 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/t/h/e/thesteeps/html/singletrackwiki/config/index.php:1) in /home/content/t/h/e/thesteeps/html/singletrackwiki/config/index.php on line 22 Defines.phph¿KÈ¿KÈmBIN‚?æ¥DefaultSettings.phpÒ<¿Ž¶Ð¿Ž¶ÐmBIN‚?æíSiteConfiguration.php ¦¾÷'¾÷'mBIN‚?Ç, MagicWord.php"¾ãmº¾ãmºmBIN‚?"? Namespace.phpŒ¿&š¿&šmBIN‚?Æ ---------------------------------------- at the top of the page...
What do you think could be the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I'm a designer, and not very code-savvy apart from CSS and HTML!

Did you FTP the files from a Macintosh? Check for options in your FTP program about sending files as 'MacBinary'; turn that off (you want 'data fork' if there is an option something like this) and re-upload the files.
Or, did you upload them through some kind of web form in Explorer? If so, try again through Safari or Firefox.

Thanks for writing back! The only options I see in my FTP programs (either Netfinder or Transmit) are either ASCII or Binary... Does Data Fork mean ASCII?

I've just re-uploaded everything using Transmit rather than Netfinder, and it seems to be working now... going to try to do the install now... thanks for your help!
