> Hi All,
> 
> I am trying to setup wikimedia on windows using oracle database. I installed apache 2.0.58 and then installed
> zend core for oracle (zend core engine version 2.0.5 / php version 5.0.5). I can connect to oracle using
> a test php program so that part is working fine.
> 
> Now I downloaded Wikimedia and unzipped to apache/htdocs. When I try to run the setup all I am getting  is
> the message below.
