I am trying to install my first Mediawiki site and have a problem. My system settings on ReadyHosting.com indicates that it is running MySQL version 4.1.22 which meets Mediawiki requirements; however, when I try to install Mediawiki I get the error message "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'VMSSQL01'." Checking to see if I had the database set up properly, I discovered it is actually MS SQL. Will Mediawiki work with MS SQL? I have not been able to find a reference to MS SQL in any of the help files.
Thanks, Gary Roush

There is support for MS SQL database, so it could work. It may not be as complete or stable as it should, though.
