Hi Guys, I am a complete newbie so please excuse me if this really isnt a bug. I wanted to setup MediaWiki on my website so I checked out the instructions (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide:_Installation) which suggest that its a fairly striaght forward process of downloading the build tar file then uploading it, fiddling with permissions and then following the installation and config instructions. As a newbie this was great it seemed pretty straight forward. I downloaded the tar file, uncompressed it and uploaded it to my sever, changed the permsisions and got the setup page however when I clicked on the link it gave me a 404 error because it could not find /config/index.php. I manually downloaded this file from the CVS, created the directory server side and violla it worked the only problem now is that its giving out about not finding /includes/Defines.php. Is this a problem with the build? I think maybe the directory structure isnt being created when I uncompress the tar so all the files are there just not in the right places/direcotries. I am doing this under Win2K would that make any difference? I couldnt find any forum to discuss this and i would appreciate if someone could point me to a good one as I would like some assitance with customising it etc and it would be helpful to talk to people who have done this. Do I get notification of this bugs response etc? If not whoever is looking at the bug could they email me so I know whats happening?
