[Mediawiki-l] Non-root installation

[James Reed]

Greetings!

I would like to install MediaWiki on a remote server to which I do not have
root access. PHP 4.2.3 and MySQL 3.23.49 are available. Has anyone here done
this before, or know of someone who has? If so, I would like to contact
him/her.

Also, I would like to be able to install MediaWiki by unpacking the files
into the directory of choice, run an installation script in my browser into
which I input my host, directory, database, and software version
information, run a configuration script to setup admin accounts, display
preferences, and the like, and start using the product. Is there any
possibility of this being implemented in the near future?

I hope that I am not asking for too much....
