Hi Dave,
Thank you for your reply.
By "no pages to view" I meant that the browser keeps on working but no
values are returned.
In the mediawiki tables I have populated information from Wikipedia dump
for the following:
redirect
pagel
categorylinks
pagelinks
externallinks
pages-articles.
My understanding was that mediawiki will be having "Main_Page" when it has
no data populated in the database tables. If only "Main_Page" will be
displayed even after the mediawiki related tables are populated then is
there any additional step that needs to be done for the local mediawiki to
start showing the content.
Regards,
Venkatesh

When you say "no pages to view" what exactly
do you mean? Is there just a
blank page, a HTTP error code, a MediaWiki page with no content, or
something else? Same question when you say "no page opens" and "not
returning any results".
Its been a while since I installed a new MediaWiki but from what I remember
a new wiki has no article or category content except perhaps a standard
"Main_Page". To add content you have to add/edit pages and categories.

Hi,
I am installing mediawiki for first time.
The version of software being used is:
Mediawiki - 1.19.2
PHP - 5.3.18
MySQL - 5.5.28
The OS is Cent OS 5.3 (final version), 64 bit.
I am able to install mediawiki and configure it. I have run the scripts
to
populate the MySQL database tables with values of
wikipedia dump.
When I access the mediawiki site, there are no pages to view and queries
returns no results even though
http://10.155.8.142/mediawiki/index.php/Special:SpecialPages lists many
links under headers like Maintenance reports, Lists of pages, Login /
create account etc. When I click the link "Categories" under header "List
of Pages" no page opens. I tried other links under this header but it is
not returning any results.
Please note that the URL can't be accessed from outside as this is a
internal IP and there are no public IP available to use it.
My goal is to set up mediawiki and then use it to extract/fetch song
related information by specifying the category. Could you please let me
know what I may be doing wrong as I am not getting the results back.
