[Mediawiki-l] problems with initial config/index.php

[Joe Auty]

Hello,

I'm really anxious to get Mediawiki working, so I'm really hoping 
somebody can help me here (as an early Christmas present =)

Setup:

FreeBSD 5.3
MediaWiki 1.3.9
MySQL 4.1.7
PHP 4.1.10
Apache 1.3.x

When I fill out the initial config information at config/index.php (SQL 
server info, sysop account info, etc.) and submit, I get nothing but a 
blank screen. I'm not seeing any error messages in my SQL error log, so 
I'm having difficulty troubleshooting this problem.

I have setup the wikidb database and created the wikiuser granting this 
user full access. My MySQL 4.1 setup works for all of my other 
databases, and I can login as this user via the command line (no error 
messages visible, I do know that MySQL 4.1 presented some 
authentication hiccups).


What is the best way to go about troubleshooting this? Is this problem 
related to MySQL 4.1 or something else?


Thanks SO much in advance!
