I now have two mediawiki installations. The first claimed to install and cpnfigure properly: * Created database mediawikidb * Creating tables... using MySQL 3/4 table defs... done. * Initializing data... * Granting user permissions... * Created sysop account WikiSysop. * Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace... Clearing message cache...Done. Creating LocalSettings.php... The second ran into an error creating the transcache table (claiming my db user did not have create access). I finally managed to get everything configured using the root MySQL user. But I note that my first installation does not have a transcache table. -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8640 Jan 22 22:30 mw_searchindex.frm -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8852 Jan 22 22:30 mw_site_stats.frm -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8642 Jan 22 22:30 mw_text.frm -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 0 Jan 22 22:30 mw_trackbacks.MYD -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1024 Jan 22 22:30 mw_trackbacks.MYI -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8738 Jan 22 22:30 mw_trackbacks.frm -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 9128 Jan 22 22:30 mw_user.frm -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8604 Jan 22 22:30 mw_user_groups.frm Do I need one?
Going on an observation made last night while setting up a quick local 1.5.6 install in order to process dumps from another wiki, I believe the transcache table was added sometime during 1.5 branch. It should be in the release notes. I doubt it's a fatal problem, but you could run the upgrade script to fill in the blank.
Follow-up: I've now added the table definition to the schema to be used so this won't affect new installs.
