When I try to install MediaWiki I get the following messages: <pre> # PHP 5.0.2: the MonoBook skin will be disabled due to an incompatibility between the PHPTAL template library and PHP 5. The wiki should function normally, but with the older look and feel. # PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) # Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. # PHP is configured with no memory_limit. # Have zlib support; enabling output compression. # Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled. # Installation directory: c:\docroot\mediawiki # Script URI path: /MediaWiki # Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure Connected as root (automatic) # Connected to database... 4.1.7-nt; enabling MySQL 4 enhancementsWarning: $wgProxyKey is insecure # Created database wikidb # Creating tables... done. # Initializing data... # Granting user permissions... Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the database server. </pre> When I try again there is the same error but after "Converting links table to ID-ID...".
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html Your PHP installation is incompatible with your MySQL server. Either: a) Downgrade to MySQL 4.0.22 b) Fix your PHP installation to use the updated MySQL 4.1 client libraries (this is a simple recompile on Unix, not sure about on Windows) c) Fiddle with the MySQL server to use the backwards-compatible password format.
