Hi all,

I installed this wiki on my test server before I add it to my production server,
where it will be going into heavy use pretty much instantly, so hopefully you
can help me out with this.

When you go to the URL, all that loads is a blank page, and thats it. Here's the
stuff from the installation log:

• PHP 5.0.4 installed
• Found database drivers for: MySQL PostgreSQL
• PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
• Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
• PHP's memory_limit is 32M. If this is too low, installation may fail!
• Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
• Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator nor APC are installed, can't use

object caching functions

• GNU diff3 not found.
• Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled.
• Installation directory: /var/www/vhosts/sourcez.co.uk/httpdocs/wiki
• Script URI path: /wiki
• Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.
• Warning: $wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand(). Consider

changing it manually.

  Installation successful! Move the config/LocalSettings.php file into the

parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki.

...looks okay to me, but I still had the problem even though I installed it twice!

So, I checked the error logs and found these:

[client 86.142.151.61] PHP Warning: main() [<a

in /var/www/vhosts/sourcez.co.uk/httpdocs/wiki/includes/normal/UtfNormal.php on
line 36, referer: http://www.sourcez.co.uk/wiki/config/index.php

looks like a permission issue but then I have no experience with linux servers
so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated as I need to get this
sorted out quick for the release date to be met.

Regards,

Dave
