[Mediawiki-l] Is MediaWiki-l dysfunctional? What is it good for, really? and Re: Any leads on a basic wiki setup-and-configure instruction manual?

[Arthur Guy]

I have been following this discussion for the past few days and it seems
to be going round in circles and getting no ware.

Your problems all seem to be related to the web server so I would start
there
http://httpd.apache.org/

When that's working you can setup PHP
http://www.php.net/

Then MySQL
http://www.mysql.com/

Finally MediaWiki

If you have any trouble before you get to the MediaWiki page I would
suggest you contact the relevant forums or mailing lists relating to the
piece of software that is causing you problems.
Alternatively you can try a WAMP package
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wamp

And as you seem to be so keen on links this one might help.

Peter Blaise responds: 

Daniel,

Please try LESS work and instead of arguing and telling me to hire "an
expert" (as if I've had much luck finding any who are wiling to prove
their value here!  And, without a reference to a specific expert with
which you've had success, well then, what's a referral good for
anyway?!?), why not just respond with a LINK as was missing from your
original posts, and was asked for?

A link, man, a LINK?!?  That is all I ask for!

And when you Googled to resolve a conflict, since that was a departure
from the "official instructions" can you help out with a link there,
too?

A link, man, a LINK - that is all I ask for!

Please, Daniel.  Way less work has been asked of you than you proffered
here!  No explanations or retributions needed.  Save your energies, man!


Instead, how about simply sharing the 2 links YOU used to accomplish
your success?

Thanks.
