While installing MediaWiki-1.21.1 with Oracle on a Solaris machine I ran into an installer issue when the LocalSettings.php file was written. LocalSettings.php did not have the correct values in the wgDBserver, wgDBname, and wgDBuser slots. I was able to work around this problem by filling the install prompts in the web browser as you normally would and then fixing the database information after I downloaded the LocalSettings.php. Hopefully this helps someone with the same issue.
Thanks for taking the time to report this! Which exact database backend and database version is this about? Also, it's not entirely clear to me in which order which steps were performed, unfortunately.
Joe: Which exact database backend and database version is this about?
Andre Klapper: We are using Oracle 10 as the database I believe. I'm not sure what you mean by "which order steps were performed". The install process can only really happen one way unless I am mistaken.
Any chance to find out the *exact* Oracle version, as there are a number of patchset version since 2003? > LocalSettings.php did not have the correct values in the wgDBserver, > wgDBname, and wgDBuser slots. How did the values differ?
It has been a few weeks now but I believe wgDBuser and wgDBname had something like wikiuser and wgDBserver had something like wikiserver. It basically looked like they were variables that were displaying not the variable values. Sorry that I am vague on these details.
