When I try to install MediaWiki I get the following messages:

<pre>

PHP 5.0.2: the MonoBook skin will be disabled due to an incompatibility

between the PHPTAL template library and PHP 5. The wiki should function
normally, but with the older look and feel.

  1. PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
  2. Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
  3. PHP is configured with no memory_limit.
  4. Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
  5. Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled.
  6. Installation directory: c:\docroot\mediawiki
  7. Script URI path: /MediaWiki

Your PHP installation is incompatible with your MySQL server. Either:
a) Downgrade to MySQL 4.0.22
b) Fix your PHP installation to use the updated MySQL 4.1 client libraries (this is a simple recompile on Unix,
not sure about on Windows)
c) Fiddle with the MySQL server to use the backwards-compatible password format.
