I'm trying to set up a localhost-only wiki for development which will not be web-facing.
I've been following here [1] and also [2], and have got as far as 'Configure MediaWiki', and navigating to http://localhost and there I'm stuck.
The browser shows -
╭──── │MediaWiki 1.30.0 │ │LocalSettings.php not found. │ │Please set up the wiki first. ╰────
But every time that I click on 'set up the wiki' it takes me to 'http://localhost/mw-config/index.php' and an "Error code 500".
This is where I've installed mediawiki - /var/www/html/mediawiki
Please someone, tell me where I'm going wrong and get me back working properly again.
Thanks Sharon.
