Hi,
I have successfully managed to install MediaWiki on RedHat Fedora 2 and
it went beautifully smoothly.
However, I now need to install it on:
MediaWiki 1.3.7
FreeBSD 5.2
MySQL 4.1.7
Apache 2.0.48
I get the following messages when running the config/installation
script:
# PHP 4.3.4: ok
# PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs
(index.php/Page_Title)
# Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
# PHP is configured with no memory_limit.
# No zlib support.
# Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled.
# Installation directory: /scsi0/apache/htdocs/qi_static/itc_wiki
# Script URI path: /qi_static/itc_wiki
# Connected as root (automatic)
# Connected to database... 4.1.7-log; enabling MySQL 4 enhancements
# Created database wikidb
# Creating tables... done.
# Initializing data...
# Granting user permissions...
Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot
contact the database server.
It does create the user table, just not populate it with anything. I am
at a loss as to why it can access the database to create tables but not
have access to write data.
I've searched google and the mailing list archives but did not find
anything useful.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how to fix it please?
Thanks in advance.
Ben
