Yes, that's pretty suspicious. A successful installation will end with
this text:
Success! Move the LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory,
then follow this link to your wiki.
It would help if you could include the complete output of the
installation process, so we might guess which part of the install was
the last one that said "done".
when using a manually generated LocalSettings.php, I
receive a 404 error
upon access of "index.php/MainPage". This problem occurs whether or not I
delete the tables, delete/re-upload the files, etc. I have set CHMOD 777
onto the /config/ directory as instructed.

- PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs
(index.php?title=Page_Title)
When using PHP as a CGI module, the index.php/Main_Page style URL *will
not work* without additional configuration (such as setting up
mod_rewrite). Try index.php?title=Main_Page
