Description:
Just started deploying the current mediawiki-1.19.1 as per http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide , on Amazon EC2 (Apache web server)
The prerequisites screen (next after language selection) specified all OK but due to no GD thumbnailing would be disabled.
Deployed GD via sudo yum install php-gd and restarted Apache server.
After this, can't even get to the language selection screen - get HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
In the server error log, I see:
[Fri Jul 13 15:40:42 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to Parser::parse() must be an instance of Title, null given, called in /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.19.1/includes/installer/Installer.php on line 558 and defined in /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.19.1/includes/parser/Parser.php on line 318, referer: http://site.xyz
