Actually when trying to use install.php i run into the same problem of 
zero byte files and i did _not_ install in the source directory. I 
fixed the problem by copying the files by hand from the source 
directory and includes directory.

The web install works otherwise quite ok, but i find myself unable to 
access the mediawiki-namespace messages at MediaWiki:All_messages. It 
just gives an empty page. I used Finnish as the language, if that 
information helps.
