I am looking to create my own wikiwiki website using the MediaWiki software, but I'm uncertain as to how I should proceed, because I do not have access to the command line. I first attempted to have my host's support people run the install.php script for me, but they ran into errors and told me that they ran into errors when they ran the script from the backend, and to look for errors in the code. (You'll have to forgive my ignorance here -- I'm pretty good with websites, but server management isn't something I know anything about yet!)
So, I'm looking for a way to install MediaWiki and set up my site using nothing but FTP upload, phpMyAdmin access (full admin/dba permissions), and a normal Web browser. Can anyone provide some assistance with this?
Thank you, Dan Carlson
