Wiki Setup Help - Wikitech-l

14 Dec 2003

*sigh* I'm a wiki newbie trying to setup MediaWiki 1.10.

My problem is none of the links work.  Whenever I click on them it stays on the main
page.
After reading through the pages it was noted that this problem could occur due to not
setting register_globals = On in php.ini.  The variable had already been set correctly so
this couldn't be the problem.

My sql version is 3.23.58
Apache version Apache/1.3.27
PHP 4.3.4

http://www.adverserealms.com/wiki/wiki.phtml

Here are the steps I took

mysqladmin -u root password 'mynewpassword'

started mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO emeraldwiki@localhost
    ->     IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Then I set my sql part of my LocalSettings file to the following

$wgDBserver         = "localhost";
$wgDBuser           = "emeraldwiki";
$wgDBname           = "mywiki";
$wgDBpassword       = "apassword";
$wgDBsqlpassword  = "anotherpassword";
$wgDBminWordLen      = 3;   # Match this to your MySQL fulltext
$wgDBtransactions   = false; # Set to true if using InnoDB tables

The install.php script seemed to run fine without any problems.

Any pointers would be appreciated.  I believe I laid out all the steps I took.  I can try
to be more clear if needed.

Thanks,
Joshua
