Hi,
is there a problem having two mediawikis running parallel on one mysql? Experimenting with update from 1.3.3 to 1.3.9, I have one 1.3.3 running as database "wikidb" on mysql and all the apache files in ....path..../httpd/htdocs/wiki/
Now set up a second, entirely independent apache having everything in ....differentPath..../httpd/htdocs/ and untaring the 1.3.9 archive there, after renaming ....differentPath..../httpd/htdocs/wiki/
So far working good, but filling out config/index.php (everything identical with the 1.3.3, but with "Database name" set to "wikidb2" and submitting leads to:
---8<--- Checking environment...
* PHP 4.3.9: ok * PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * No zlib support. * Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled. * Installation directory: /home/cddoc/tools/httpd/htdocs/wiki * Script URI path: /wiki * Connected as root (automatic) * Connected to database... 4.0.17; enabling MySQL 4 enhancements * Couldn't create database wikidb2; try with root access or check your username/pass.
Something's not quite right yet; make sure everything below is filled out correctly. ---8<---
And labeled "<- Enter" is the "DB root password" field - but the DB root password given there is definitely correct - checked several times.
What's the problem here? :-?
Cheers and merry christmas Philipp
