But when I load index.php, I get the following message


MediaWiki 1.4.0 installation

Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation 
problems.

Checking environment...
	• 	PHP 4.3.10: ok
	• 	PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs 
(index.php/Page_Title)
  PHP's XML module is missing; the wiki requires functions in  this 
module and won't work in this configuration.  If you're running 
Mandrake, install the php-xml package.
