The file your missing is, /maintenance/tables.sql, have you checked the maintenance directory, is it there?

Is it readable by the apache user like the other files? You appear to have used a non standard instillation directory /wiki/ rather than /w/ is it too late to fix this? The installer may make assumptions as to the install directory which is being broken by the above issue, can anyone else comment on this? Arthur Guy arthur(a)assys.net

I learnt something new today. A post by the person having the problem seemed to imply the problem was fixed when he made this change, do you know why this would be or what would cause the problem in the first place?

I reinstalled the mediawiki using the same technique I used last time. I had to reinstalled because an admin username was not installed my previous attempt. I'm almost sure I simply forgot to put in the admin's password into the passowrd field. THis attempt at installing mediawiki is having the same error as before, even when i'm using /w/ as the install directory. I'm thinking the problem is with creating the user admin during the installation. Why else wouldn't it work now? On 6/29/07, Arthur Guy <Arthur(a)assys.net> wrote:

Hi Matt, I answered you here (but I think you missed it ;-) ): http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2007-June/021342.html and also (but not important) : http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2007-June/021338.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2007-June/021340.html shortly : move /homepages/21/d144326822/htdocs/wiki/maintenance/ folder to thge root of your website : /homepages/21/d144326822/htdocs/ (found someone on fr.wikipedia with the exact same problem as you and which used this solution) NB : $fp = fopen( $filename, 'r' ); means "open the file named $filename in readonly mode" Also (if ever the above solution doesn't work) you could try to insert this code before fopen() : echo getcwd(); just to check that your install script is actually executing in the config*s* directory Oh BTW, you seem to be installing 1.10.0rc1, maybe you should use the final release 1.10.0 ;-) (but I don't think it's related to your problem) Matt Gallisdorfer wrote:

"r" specifies the mode in which the file is opened (for "r"eading). Note that the error message says 'Could not open "../maintenance/tables.sql"'; that should be a clue as to which file is actually (apparently) missing. :) -- schnee
