[Mediawiki-l] Installing mediawiki beta on win

Tue Jan 11 11:56:57 UTC 2005

For testing, I am trying to install MediaWiki 1.4beta4 on Win XP, using 
Apache. The install script happily creates the tables and stuff, but 
then says:

"Converting links table to ID-ID...
Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot 
contact the database server. "

I am running MySQL 3.23.58-nt.

Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Peter
