Mon Dec 12 09:08:59 UTC 2005

Hello everybody.

Server platform: WinNT 4.0 SP6
Server software: DeveloperSide.NET's Web-Server Suite, made of:
    * Apache 2.0.54
    * Perl 5.8.7
    * mod_perl 2.0.1
    * PHP 5.0.5
    * MySQL 4.1.14
          o DBI
          o DBD::mysql
          o DBD::mysqlPP
          o Net::MySQL
    * phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl1
    * analog 6.0

Server up and running, all tests passed.

Trying to install MediaWiki 1.5.3

Had to change php.ini in order to use php_mysql.dll instead of 
php_mysqli.dll. This solves a first problem (MediaWiki installation script 
couldn't call successfully any mysql functions). But now there is a problem 
remaining:

Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

</MediaWiki installation results>

It seems that something is going wrong with the paths (look at the warning 
after chdir). Maybe the problem has to do with having the wiki directory in 
D:\ insetad of C:\ ? The structure is:  

D:\www
D:\www\Apache2
D:\www\mysql
D:\www\php5
D:\www\webroot   ==> http://myserver
D:\www\webroot\wiki

etc.

I have checked that D:\www\webroot\wiki\maintenance\tables.sql exists

Any ideas?

Many thanks
