Usually this is because register_globals is set to off. We haven't yet eliminated the use of this, so the script isn't able to get at its parameters (such as page title) if it's off (the default in recent versions of PHP).
See http://www.php.net/register_globals
Track down your php.ini and flip this option to On.

Set $wgLanguageCode = "de"; in LocalSettings.php, and make sure LanguageDe.php got installed.

Have you looked at http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentation:Installation, where I'm currently trying to consolidate the apread-all-over-the-place parts of the documentation? There is a drafted section about the "Installation of the MediaWiki software under Debian GNU/Linux on the i386 architecture as root".
Regards, -asb
PS: You can send mail to my E-Mail address in German, if you encounter problems with the documentation above. I would like to them in the Troubleshooting section ;)
Hello List,
since you helped me so gratefully, some more questions. 1. How can I clean up the Database (MySQL). Actually it's the History (visions).
2. How can I change the second (standard) Title on every new Page ("aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie"). ("from Wikipedia, the free Encyclopaedia" Eng.???)
3. And do I really need to write or to copy the whole Help for Mediawiki (it was completely empty).
By the way, have someone started to write a Documentation, in German/English (Install -> Customised MediaWiki)
-Thanx for all the answers before- M.Kiberu

I'm not sure what you mean here.

If using $wgUseDatabaseMessages, edit [[MediaWiki:fromwikipedia]]. If not, edit LanguageDe.php and find the line that defines the string for 'fromwikipedia' and change it.
- And do I really need to write or to copy the whole Help for
Mediawiki (it was completely empty).
You probably want to reference here: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide

Hello List,

Manually: Copy each page to your clipboard you want to lose the history for. Delete the page and Recreate it from the clipboard. This way everyone can see that you did that which might be perceived as nice or not-nice.
Automatically: Study the database structure carefully and craft the right SQL statements to make the modification you want to do. Please do tell people that you have modified something, so they know that the right policy is to not really trust anything the history says. If the install is public, archived copies may be used to detect this which will put you into a bad light for those that can access this detail level of information which in turn widens the so called "digital gap" between those who know that you are a crook, who guess you are a crook and those who have no clue.
or
You could use mysqldump -uusername -ppassword databasename > file.sql and edit that with emacs or whatever tool you have available
drop and create the database in MySQL
and
mysql -uusername -ppassword databasename < file.sql to import the modified data.
- How can I change the second (standard) Title on every new Page ("aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie"). ("from Wikipedia, the free Encyclopaedia" Eng.???)
Last time I checked it can be modified in Language.php which can be found in the subdirectory named languages
- And do I really need to write or to copy the whole Help for
Mediawiki (it was completely empty).
Depends on how friendly you want to be to wiki users
i hope this helps. sincerely Juxo
ps. If i have a "kick me, i'm stupid"-note on my back or something i'd really appreciate if you folks telling me about it. The same goes for if you perceive that i smell bad, though that is much more subjective and might amuse some people.
