[Mediawiki-l] right after installation: cannot edit nor login

Hi.
I'm hosted on an 3rd party VPS Linux / SUSE / Apache server.

I have a problem right after the installation. I can load all pages linked 
in the bar, except ...&action=... I only get a blank page when I e.g. try to 
edit Main_Page or any other page.
After logging in as admin or new user, i cannot even load Main_page anymore.

As noob as I am, I think it has to do with:
Warning: $wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand()

How can I get rid of it? I want to finally start filling in data :)

greetz.

my log:
