2)Exact error message (as already given)
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class mediawiki_i18n in
/.../uvm.edu/fs/rack1b/u/ugrads/merhart/public_html/wiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php
on
line 43

3)version attached that was what was copied over. I'm not sure I have access to
te content of what was attempted to be created (the one that did not work)

4. Package was untarred in public_html directory and renamed to "wiki". Nothing

else was moved or changed. Except for the specific user information,
LocalSettings.php is set up eactly the same was as on a 1.6.7 version currently
running.

5. no custom skin is being used at this time. The install itself is fresh. There

is a reference in the LocalSettings.php file that referes to a different image
that was used, but it has only the effect of not showing the image (logo image).

Problem solved.
mediawiki installer gave proper text to put in LocalSettings.php but when it was
copied using pico, the w switch wasn't used to it cause a couple lines to wrap.

pico -w LocalSettings.php and pasting would have worked fine. I just edited the
file.

Still don't know why it was't able to create the file on it's own originally,
but I'm guessing it was a perms issue in the folder.
