Hello list,
For my installation problem I will include the installation messages
followed by my limited testing, and then a few specific questions.
*Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.
*
- PHP 4.4.0 installed
- *Warning:* *PHP's
register_globals<http://php.net/register_globals>option is enabled.
Disable it if you can.
*
MediaWiki will work, but your server is more exposed to PHP-based
security vulnerabilities.
- PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title)
- Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
- PHP's memory_limit is 32M. *If this is too low, installation may
fail!*
- Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
- Neither Turck MMCache <http://turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net/> nor
eAccelerator <http://eaccelerator.sourceforge.net/> are installed,
can't use object caching functions
- GNU diff3 not found.
- Found ImageMagick: /usr/local/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will
be enabled if you enable uploads.
- Found GD graphics library built-in.
- Installation directory:
/web/sites/_m/_i/_k/mikefearn.com/public/wiki
- Script URI path:
- Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.
*Generating configuration file...*
- Database type: mysql
- Attempting to connect to database server as sitedb...success.
- Connected to 3.23.58-log -- mysql 4.0 or later required. Aborting.
This implies to me that the MediaWiki installer is being told the mysql
intalled on the webserver is version 3.23.58
However when I ssh into the webserver and do mysql -V it comes up with
> Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.13 for portbld-freebsd4.11 (i386) using readline 5.0
>
1) Which version (or versions) of mysql do people think is installed?
2) Can i run any commands to see if multiple versions are installed?
3) Can i change any settings in the MediaWiki installation or .htaccess to
force which version of mysql is used?
More questions may be needed, but I'll use this as a starting point
Many Thanks
Michael Fearn
