Description David Coll 2005-12-11 07:09:58 UTC
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.
Comment 1 David Coll 2005-12-11 07:13:32 UTC
I forgot to say that /config/ directory is set to attribute 777.
Comment 2 Rob Church 2005-12-11 15:06:08 UTC
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. :(
Comment 3 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-12-11 20:03:56 UTC
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:

Closing as worksforme.
