Setting severity to major because the web-based installer won't work in this way
and the potential workaround requires some work.

Can those of you experiencing this problem provide a dump of output from the phpinfo() function? There
must be something causing it...

PHPinfo() output

This is my PHPinfo() output file. I took out the document paths and the IP
adress of the server over privacy considerations. Other info:

Apple iBook G4, 800 MHZ, 640 MB RAM.

Attached:

It seems like I found the bug that was bothering my installation, though I don't
understand why the implementation is wrong. The problem goes away when I comment
out the following lines in config/index.php

require_once( "../includes/MagicWord.php" );
require_once( "../includes/Namespace.php" );

It takes a while to complete, but now I managed to get a completed
localsettings.php.

Please test with 1.4beta.

I tested this with 1.4beta1 and the installation works smoothly.
Still there in 1.3.8, though..

Any projection as to when 1.4 is going to hit production stability?

Thanks for the feedback! Resolving as fixed.

1.4.0 should be released within the next week or two.

Just installed 1.4.0 and got the old problem again.
I could still fix it in the same way: just comment out the two offending lines:

1. require_once( "../includes/MagicWord.php" );
2. require_once( "../includes/Namespace.php" );

Sorry. Though I am a lot more worried about bug 1727, which makes my wiki all
but unusable.

Please test with 1.4.2; changes to the include path in the installer have been made.

No response from user who reopened the bug. Resolving as FIXED again.
