[Mediawiki-l] I CAN NOT INSTALL MEDIAWIKI

The problem looks exactly like a problem outlines in this bug report:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg06379.html
with an explanation here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg06625.html

My guess is that this bug was fixed in later versions of Mediawiki but still exists for PHP 5.3.x for Mediawiki 1.13.0 and since you are using PHP 5.3.2 you are seeing the bug.  Maybe someone else can confirm this.  

You might want to install Mediawiki 1.16.2 (latest version) to verify that you can run the most recent version on your system.  If you can then try a reinstall of 1.13.0.  If the problem persists and you need 1.13.0 you probably need a different version of PHP.   If you have a system with an older version (before 5.3.0) of PHP you might want to try installing 1.13.0 there as well.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your fast reply. I did what you mentioned (remove the config directory and set the permissions of LocalSettings.php file to 644). Then, I refreshed the browser and nothing changes, all blank. The error message from /var/log/apache2 continues saying the same, surprisingly:

[Thu Feb 17 16:32:27 2011] [error] [client 10.201.97.165] PHP Warning:  Parameter 2 to Parser::parse() expected to be a reference, value given in /var/www/mediawiki/includes/StubObject.php on line 58, referer: http://bioinfold/wiki/config/index.php
