I get the following error message when /config/index.php is launched for installation: Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/.filer4/obscursa/www/mediawiki/config/index.php on line 118 Warning: main(includes/Defines.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.filer4/obscursa/www/mediawiki/config/index.php on line 122 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/Defines.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php/PEAR') in /home/.filer4/obscursa/www/mediawiki/config/index.php on line 122 ---- You can try it and see the error message at http://obscursa.jexiste.fr/mediawiki/ Using mediawiki v1.5.3 When using EasyPHP on my local machine (WinXPproSP2), I get no problem installing. The problem may be due to the server.
I forgot to say that /config/ directory is set to attribute 777.
Yeah, what's happening is that MediaWiki is attempting to add some items to PHP's default include path, to ensure they can be located, but your server's PHP configuration has been tweaked to prevent the function required - ini_set() - from being used. I can't remember the solution, if there is one, off the top of my head. :(
MediaWiki cant be installed on your host. A better explanation is at: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-July/005832.html You can eventually hack the code source and add the full path: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_MediaWiki_on_Sourceforge.net#Disabled_ini_set.28.29 Closing as worksforme.
