I have set up LocalSettings.php. When I access Index.php in a browser the message (below) comes up. I have tried deleting all the wiki files and uploading the original files, but after setting up the LocalSettings.php again, it still comes up with the message (below). --- $IP = "/public_html"; if ( ! isset( $DP ) ) { $DP = $IP; } include_once( "$DP/DefaultSettings.php" ); $wgSitename = "SpongeBob SquarePants Wiki"; $wgScriptPath = "/home/sbspwiki/public_html"; $wgScript = ""/home/sbspwiki/public_html/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "/home/sbspwiki/public_html/redirect.php"; $wgArticlePath = "/home/sbspwiki/public_html/index.php/ $1"; $wgEmergencyContact = "admin@sbspwiki.tk"; $wgPasswordSender = "admin@sbspwiki.tk"; $wgDBserver = "localhost"; $wgDBname = "sbspwiki_Wiki"; $wgDBuser = "Rainer"; $wgDBpassword = "[--password--]"; $wgDBsqluser = "sbspwiki_Rainer "; $wgDBsqlpassword = "[--password--]"; $wgDBminWordLen = 3; $wgDBmysql4 = true; $wgEnablePersistentLC = true; $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false; $wgUseImageResize = true; $wgWhitelistEdit = true; Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sbspwiki/public_html/includes/User.php on line 94 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sbspwiki/public_html/includes/User.php on line 94 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sbspwiki/public_html/includes/User.php on line 94 ---
Your LocalSettings.php seems to be badly corrupt, and is missing the <?php ... ?> tags which tell the PHP interpreter that it is code, not data. You should correct this immediately, as it contains a plaintext database password. Depending on your system configuration, this could be a serious security breach for you. Normally you should not create LocalSettings.php by hand, but would use the one created by the installer.

When I first installed MediaWiki, following instructions, the LocalSettings file didn't get made, so I searched Google and found somewhere that showed how to do it. Anyway what do you mean by putting <?php ... ?> Where do I put them.

Most old install problems are likely fixed. > so I searched Google and found > somewhere that showed how to do it. Well, you didn't follow all the directions or else the directions were wrong. Also you need to confirm that the database was set up, or you'll have to do it manually. > Anyway what do you mean by putting <?php ... ?> Where do I put them. Around the whole file. Look at all the other .php files.
OK, I have uploaded 1.4beta2 MediaWiki, and opened up Index.php. The LocalSettings file still doesn't exist. Maybe I am not making it writable. To make sure I am doing it write - How do I make it writable?
Please read the installation and upgrade instructions which come as part of the package. When you have done that, make a backup of your data (see the MySQL backup instructions at MySQL.com). Finally, follow the instructions. If you have problems after that please report the exact error messages you encounter.

I have uploaded 1.4beta2, how do I fix the problem of the LocalSettings file not getting created?
Since you cannot describe what you've done, provide what error messages you encountered in the installation, or list the installation information which the installer requests that you provide when asking for help, there is nothing we can do to help you. Please read the documentation, follow the directions in detail, and if you still have problems send a post to the mediawiki-l list describing, exactly, in detail, what steps you followed, what problems and error messages you encountered, and how, exactly, your results differed from the expected results. You will provide some details of your server's configuration, and you will list which instructions you have followed or diverged from, exactly. If you do not do these things, I can guarantee that we will never be able to provide you with any help beyond asking you to educate yourself, follow the directions, and provide detailed diagnostic information if something goes wrong. This bug report is CLOSED, since the problem is one you created yourself by not following the directions and randomly doing things without any understanding of what you were doing.
(In reply to comment #7) > Since you cannot describe what you've done, provide what error ... Well it is fixed now so I don't need any more help, thank you.
