I work on: -Fedora Core 6. -mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.27, for redhat-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.0 Installation 1.8.2 fails. After successful Installation I will try the Main Page. I got only a white page. After that I tried install mediawiki-1.6.8. I executed exactly the same installation steps and it work without problems. In Apache Log are error messages: [Wed Dec 13 14:21:28 2006] [error] [client ::1] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getTalkPage() on a non-object in /var/www/html/wiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 586
This is a known problem in 1.8.2 I already experienced on another installation. Try accessing the website from another host (not localhost).

This is the IPv6 localhost bug; the IPv6 address "::1" isn't a valid page title, so the IP talk page link blows up. I believe there's some code in 1.9 to hack around this.
