Hi, I'm not sure if this list is the preferred channel to report
installation problem, if not please tell me what is the preferred channel :).
My machine is running SuSE 9.1 professional, no preexisting wiki database, Apache/2.0.49,
PHP 4.3.4, MySQL 4.0.18.
In config/index.php I had to comment the zlib setup line otherwise
the install would just hang after printing "Script URI path: /wiki":
## Compress output if the browser supports it
#{$zlib}if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) ob_start(
'ob_gzhandler' );
http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php says
some thinsg about ob_start and Apache 2:

If ob_start does not seem to be working for you, note that with Apache 2
the flush() function causes PHP to send headers regardless of whether
ob_start had been called before flush.
ob_start();
echo 'test';
flush();
will cause Apache 2 to send whatever headers may be stacked up - which
means you can't use a header(location:xxx) after the flush. To fix,
remove the flush(). Spent several hours discovering this. Apache 1.x
didn't work this way.

But I'm no PHP expert so I'm not sure it's relevant and what to do.
Even with this I got an error a bit later see below.
May be I need to change some PHP settings, from phpinfo it looks like I
have "memory_limit 8M", I tried 80M and the install
worked. What value should we recommend here?
BTW,
wikipedia.org seems down right now, it would be nice
to include a recent english version of "Editing Help" with
the mediawiki release tarball. I'm using the google
cached version right now :).
Thank you in advance,
Laurent
