Hello,

I installed MediaWiki 1.5.2 with no apparent error, but when I try to 
connect by following the link from the installation page, I get this: 


ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: 

http://build.chq.ei/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page 

The following error was encountered: 

Connection Failed 
The system returned: 

    (146) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Here is the ouput from the mediawiki installation

MediaWiki 1.5.2 installation
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

Checking environment...
PHP 4.4.1: ok 
PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) 
Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. 
PHP is configured with no memory_limit. 
Have zlib support; enabling output compression. 
Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object caching
functions 
GNU diff3 not found.
Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you

Installation directory: /opt/mediawiki-1.5.2 
Script URI path: /mediawiki 
PHP is linked with old MySQL client libraries. If you are using a MySQL 4.1
server and have problems connecting to the database, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html for help. 
Trying to connect to MySQL on localhost as root... 
Connected as root (automatic)

Creating tables... using MySQL 3/4 table defs... done.

Creating LocalSettings.php...

Installation successful!  Move the config/LocalSettings.php file into the 
parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki.  


I moved LocalSettings.php up one level to the root of the mediawiki 
installation and deleted the config directory.  I've tried typing in 
different urls, with no luck.  One suggestion I found when googling was to 
use this url: 

http://build.chq.ei/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page 

but that didn't work either.  Can anyone suggest how to fix this?  

Thanks.
