[Mediawiki-l] setting up a new wiki

[David Patrick]

As a proof of concept (these managers take a lot of convincing) I am trying to run an installation of WikiMedia on my localhost address.

I have Apache, PHP and MySQL running. These were obtained as a single package from www.firepages.com.au and installed onto my Win2K machine. Wikimedia is installed on top of that.

Anyway, on to the problem:

Logging in to Wikimedia as either a normal user, or as a sysadmin, I can click on 'edit' to make a change, but cannot get the 'save' button to function correctly. Pressing 'Save' displays the changes I have made with a warning telling me that this is a preview, and that I should save my changes.

Question: What setting might I be missing? Where do I start looking?
