[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.7.0 released

Sat Jul 8 13:21:55 UTC 2006

Does this mean the installation failed on this account?

I have no access to changing the memory limit of PHP - previous versions of 
MW installed smoothlessly even if this failed, still generating a 
localsettings file and working fine.

Best wishes,
Morten :-)

you recognized:

[...]
a.. PHP's memory_limit is 16M. If this is too low, installation may fail!
Attempting to raise limit to 20M... failed.
[...]

?

Cheers, Jimmy
