Hi,
I am new to web applications etc. somewhat experienced with general
sysadmin. and I hope this is the right list to ask this question. I
did look through the archive but did not see a similar question -
apologies if i missed it.
On a relatively old Liunx box (2.4.19)
with
Apache Server version: Apache/2.2. (which seems to be running fine)
Mysql Server version 5.0.22-standard (which seems to be running
fine)
PHP 5.1.4
I am trying to build my first MediaWiki Installation. and fill out
the form presented by ../wiki/config/index/php
but can't seem to do it successfully:
> * PHP 5.2.0-dev installed
> * PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs

a clue of where to look for my problem/fix?
