Hi,
I'm attempting to install MediaWiki. I've read all the threads already present on the forums, but they were not able to help my issue. I've been running my own site for years, but have no actual experience with PHP or other scripting languages. I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction, because I seem to have encountered a problem that was not mentioned in any prior discussions.
What I've done so far:
I created a subdomain on my site, "wiki.mysite.com".
I created an SQL database named "siteusername_wikidb"
I created an SQL username named "siteusername_wikiuser"
I assigned "siteusername_wikiuser" to the "siteusername_wikidb" database.
I copied MediaWiki files to "wiki.mysite.com/wiki"
I changed write permissions on the MediaWiki config folder.
I can visit the location I copied the wiki files to, and see the initial welcoming page for installation, however clicking the "setup the wiki" link from the index page returns an internal server error.
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@dev.sidequestinteractive.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
After researching a bit in the forums I saw some advice about adding login and SQL details to some of the PHP files. I was unable to locate some of the files, such as "localhost.php", but attempted to enter the same information into the installer.php file, thinking it might be related. No dice.
I'm out of ideas, so I appreciate any help on this.
Thank you in advance!
