[Mediawiki-l] Help!

[Paul Scruby]

I have just tried to install MediaWiki 1.3.11 on a virgin Fedora Core 3
box.  It took me a while to figure out that I had to disable SELinux to
get the config directory to be fully writable, so it might be documenting
that for other users?

Anyway my problem is that MediaWiki does not get all the way through its
installation script and create the LocalSettings.php file.  MySQL is
working and the DB looks fine if I examine it with phpMyAdmin.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
