Description:
Installation on Fedora 14 (patches up to date, or very close to)
Mediawiki 1.16.4 - seems to be the latest available from Fedora
I think all the other environment details are on the report below.
I was doing a standard install and got a message about "../maintenance/postgres/tables.sql not found" at the end of the status as below. I was able to find the reference to that file in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/db/DatabasePostgres.php. After changing the reference to an absolute path, the installation finished - so I am happy, but I thought you might want to know. I am afraid I do not know enough php to try to debug what it thought it was trying get the directory relative to. Having now got it to work, I have unfortunately lost the exact message when the error was there.
