[Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki install problem

[MHart]

ssh to the server, assuming default install locations...

su to become root...

cd /var/www/html
chown -R youruser:apache wiki
chmod -R a+w wiki

should be all you need to be able to read the file. If that doesn't work, 
try creating a new folder and putting an index.php in it:

mkdir /var/www/html/wikitest
nano /var/www/html/wikitest/index.php

for that index.php:

<?php echo phpinfo(); ?>

then Ctrl-X and Y to save and exit

Browse to /wiktest and see if it works.
