Description:
Running the new version 1.4.0 of MediaWiki on an Apache 2.0.50 server with PHP 4.3.10
and mysql 3.23.58, I get the following error message when I try to install by
accessing /config/index.php:

"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
complete your request."

The error log contains the following details:

"Premature end of script headers: php-script"

I've set up full permissions for the /config/ directory.

I've copied the MediaWiki files into the root directory (in this case /var/www/html).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Version: 1.4.x
Severity: normal
OS: Linux
Platform: PC

I have now managed to successfully solve the problem on the server. It appears that the 'write'
permissions had to be switched off for the /config/ directory except for 'owner'.
