Description John Wetsell 2005-04-06 14:16:51 UTC
WIMP (Windows XP Professional, IIS 5.1, MySql 4.1.10, PHP 4.3.11)
Installation of Media Wiki 1.4.0 went ok (with work around for server
request_uri and imagemagick directory/file).
After installation I moved the Localsettings.php to the mediawiki's root directory. 
Going to the media wiki's root directory using IE 6 took me to a URL
"http://localhost/mymediawiki/index.php/Main_Page" and this was outputted
"No input file specified."

Please try http://localhost/mymediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
Do you get the same result?

Yes - 
Actually it started to display a blank page, not sure why.  So as of right 
now it is a blank page.

Sorry about that, I had to change my php.ini to display all errors.
When going to http://localhost/mymediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
I end up on http://localhost/mymediawiki/index.php/Main_Page - I guess I am 
redirected to it.
The message that is displayed in the browser is "No input file specified. "

Probably no help, but I hit similar problems are corrected them by :-
Applying the MySQL old client password fix so it would connect, and then manually modifying 
localsettings.php to set a correct $wgScriptPath value. Once all this was done, mine worked, 
but of course I hit bug 1826.

I've already applied the old client password fix for MySql - you can't get 
through the install without doing this two times.

What should $wgScriptPath be? I have it as = "/mymediawiki"; 
I believe this is the correct path. The physical directory is 
c:/inetpub/wwwroot/mymediawiki

Comment 6 Brion Vibber 2005-04-15 20:27:55 UTC
PATH_INFO URLs (index.php/Title style) generally don't work with PHP's CGI mode.

The installer should have detected CGI mode and automatically selected the index.php?
title=Title mode. Did you alter $wgArticlePath in LocalSettings.php after installation and 
before using the wiki?

If you did not alter LocalSettings.php or copy a LocalSettings.php from another location 
which was configured differently, please provide the complete output from the installer.
Comment 7 John Wetsell 2005-04-16 00:21:34 UTC
PHP is not installed in CGI mode. PHP is installed as an ISAPI.

Are you talking to me?? What output do you want? (from browser, from a log file?)

Comment 10 John Wetsell 2005-04-26 16:38:03 UTC
Tested with the new version 1.4.2 and the same exact result is produced.

Comment 11 John Wetsell 2005-04-26 16:42:57 UTC
Although I'm running PHP as an ISAPI I changed the LocalSettings.php file to
give 'ugly' URLS 
## If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs
$wgArticlePath      = "$wgScript?title=$1";

This worked for me. Perhaps all IIS installations should be automatically set to
use ugly URLs.
