After installing from tar.gz the installation runs
fine, but when one tries to call the index.php of the
installed Wiki it comes to:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or

misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

The installation output was:

MediaWiki 1.3.0beta6 installation

Please include all of the lines below when reporting
installation problems.
Checking environment...

  • WARNING: PHP 4.3.2 or higher is recommended.

Older versions from 4.1.x up may work but are not

installation may fail!

    Creating LocalSettings.php...

    Success! Move the LocalSettings.php file into the

parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki.

Any idea what may cause this?

Can you check your Apache or PHP error log?

Also try a direct page url such as index.php?title=SomePage or
index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges to see if these behave
differently.

I will take the liberty to set the severity back down to "normal", because this
error does not seem to happen to many people. Myself, I have installed
MediaWiki recently and I have not run into this problem. It is likely to be
just a configuration problem on the user's server.

Probably a php configuration error. We can't fix it if user
doesn't give us feedback anyway.

To bug owner : try with lastest stable version and open a new
bug if the trouble still happen.
