Hi Brenton,
I use Bitnami, via the Amazon cloud, and have it found it to be the way to
go. I suggest you switch to the Amazon cloud, it's free for the first year,
as I recall, if you're small. Bitnami has a great and easy to use interface
that you can turn on, off, clone, and create backups of your server on the
Amazon cloud. To deploy an application, like Mediawiki, it's a GUI button
interface that takes all of a few minutes. Since it's on the cloud you can
turn off the server when you're not working on designing your new wiki. The
only pain you'll have, like everyone else, is when you need to do an
update, but that shouldn't be an issue for a while.

I end up failing miserably. I installed LAMP, I followed all the
instructions online I could find but I failed on Windows and Ubuntu. This
is why I used bitnami as a last resort.

Odds are bitnami broke something.
Many Linux distributions provide MediaWiki in a packaged format for that
distro. These packages typically contain obsolete & unsupported versions
of
MediaWiki; they also like to move around &
change files, & do other
super-counterproductive things. You'll get the best support here if you
install MediaWiki directly from one of our tarballs -
https://www.mediawiki.org/ - or Git

Hi,
I'm presently running Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit and I installed MediaWiki
1.24.1

with
my
servers (Apache & MySQL, respectively) running (which I checked were
running by running the manager-linux.run file in the MediaWiki
directory. I
even restarted them both manually) whenever I
open up
http://localhost:8080/mediawiki/ I get a blank page. Going to
http://localhost:8080/ or
http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin works fine
and
these pages load perfectly.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
