[Mediawiki-l] Solaris installation Success

[poster]

I tried the suggestions brion offered (details below).
The last suggestion worked.  Disabling PHPTal enables us to use the
wiki, but only with the older appearance.  I guess we could either live
with that, or try digging into the PHPTal module and debugging it.

*** Adding the HTTP/1.0 string to the end of the get line produced
additional headers:

*** disabling the gzip output filter had no effect.

*** disabling PHPTal skin makes a huge difference.  Once I set
that to false, I get a nicely formatted page back.  Works with
telnet and web browsers.

Thanks for the tips.  Now at least we can get something up
and know what module to look at for further debugging.
