Thu Dec 29 22:32:18 UTC 2005

Hi I have a problem installing MediaWiki on my hosting service package.
Here's what I get when I try. It says it's a MySQL problem, but won't even
have a clue what to ask my administrator to do...

PHP 4.3.11: ok
Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work
correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security
vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should
disable it if you are able.
PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title)
Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
PHP's memory_limit is 16M. If this is too low, installation may fail!
Attempting to raise limit to 20M... ok.
Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object
caching functions
Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in
/home/wikibus/public_html/wiki/config/index.php on line 1328
GNU diff3 not found.
Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if
you enable uploads.
Installation directory: /home/wikibus/public_html/wiki

PHP is linked with old MySQL client libraries. If you are using a
MySQL 4.1server and have problems connecting to the database, see
