Sure,
I've just installed a new wiki (MediaWiki 1.8.1), downloaded from the
Sourceforge page.

• PHP 5.0.4 installed
• Found database drivers for: MySQL * Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. Disable it if you can. MediaWiki will work, but your server is more exposed to PHP-based security

vulnerabilities.

• PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
• Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
• PHP is configured with no memory_limit.
• Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
• Couldn't find Turck MMCache, eAccelerator or APC. Object caching functions

cannot be used.

• GNU diff3 not found.
• Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if

you enable uploads.

• Installation directory: D:\www\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki-1.8.1
• Script URI path: /mediawiki-1.8.1
• Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.
• Warning: $wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand(). Consider

changing it manually.

directory, then follow this link to your wiki.

No, I can post the content here (w/out the db password, of course) if that will
help, but the file was created by the installer.

Yes - please post it here. It seems that all of your Namespaces are broken...

<?php

1. This file was automatically generated by the MediaWiki installer.
2. If you make manual changes, please keep track in case you need to
3. recreate them later. #
4. See includes/DefaultSettings.php for all configurable settings
5. and their default values, but don't forget to make changes in _this_
6. file, not there.

1. If you customize your file layout, set $IP to the directory that contains
2. the other MediaWiki files. It will be used as a base to locate files.

if( defined( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' ) ) {
$IP = MW_INSTALL_PATH;
} else {
$IP = dirname( FILE );
}

$path = array( $IP, "$IP/includes", "$IP/languages" );
set_include_path( implode( PATH_SEPARATOR, $path ) . PATH_SEPARATOR .
get_include_path() );

require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );

1. If PHP's memory limit is very low, some operations may fail.
2. ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' );

if ( $wgCommandLineMode ) {
if ( isset( $_SERVER ) && array_key_exists( 'REQUEST_METHOD', $_SERVER ) ) {

		die( "This script must be run from the command line\n" );

}
} elseif ( empty( $wgNoOutputBuffer ) ) {

1. Compress output if the browser supports it

if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) @ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' );
}

$wgSitename = "Test";

$wgScriptPath = "/mediawiki-1.8.1";
$wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php";
$wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php";

1. For more information on customizing the URLs please see:
2. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url
3. If using PHP as a CGI module, the ?title= style usually must be used.

$wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1";

$wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1";

$wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins";
$wgStyleDirectory = "$IP/skins";
$wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/wiki.png";

$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";
$wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images";

$wgEnableEmail = false;
$wgEnableUserEmail = false;

$wgEmergencyContact = "dimitar.tsonev@gmail.com";
$wgPasswordSender = "dimitar.tsonev@gmail.com";

1. For a detailed description of the following switches see
2. http://meta.wikimedia.org/Enotif and http://meta.wikimedia.org/Eauthent
3. There are many more options for fine tuning available see
4. /includes/DefaultSettings.php
5. UPO means: this is also a user preference option

$wgEnotifUserTalk = false; # UPO
$wgEnotifWatchlist = false; # UPO
$wgEmailAuthentication = false;

$wgDBtype = "mysql";
$wgDBserver = "localhost";
$wgDBname = "something";
$wgDBuser = "something";
$wgDBpassword = "something";
$wgDBport = "something";
$wgDBprefix = "";

Schemas for Postgres

$wgDBmwschema = "mediawiki";
$wgDBts2schema = "public";

Experimental charset support for MySQL 4.1/5.0.

$wgDBmysql5 = false;

Shared memory settings

$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE;
$wgMemCachedServers = array();

1. To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
2. is writable, then set this to true:

$wgEnableUploads = false;
$wgUseImageResize = true;

1. $wgUseImageMagick = true;
2. $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";

1. 1. If you want to use image uploads under safe mode,
   2. create the directories images/archive, images/thumb and
   3. images/temp, and make them all writable. Then uncomment
   4. this, if it's not already uncommented:
2. $wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;

1. If you have the appropriate support software installed
2. you can enable inline LaTeX equations:

$wgUseTeX = false;
$wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math";
$wgMathDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/math";
$wgTmpDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp";

$wgLocalInterwiki = $wgSitename;

$wgLanguageCode = "bg";

$wgProxyKey = "removed";

1. Default skin: you can change the default skin. Use the internal symbolic
2. names, ie 'standard', 'nostalgia', 'cologneblue', 'monobook':

$wgDefaultSkin = 'monobook';

1. 1. For attaching licensing metadata to pages, and displaying an
   2. appropriate copyright notice / icon. GNU Free Documentation
   3. License and Creative Commons licenses are supported so far.
2. $wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf = true;

$wgRightsPage = ""; # Set to the title of a wiki page that describes your
license/copyright
$wgRightsUrl = "";
$wgRightsText = "";
$wgRightsIcon = "";

$wgRightsCode = ""; # Not yet used

$wgDiff3 = "";

1. When you make changes to this configuration file, this will make
2. sure that cached pages are cleared.

$configdate = gmdate( 'YmdHis', @filemtime( FILE ) );
$wgCacheEpoch = max( $wgCacheEpoch, $configdate );

Don't post large files in comments please; attach them if necessary.

What we could use is the output of the phpinfo() function,
and the exact version of XAMPP you have installed.

Okay, I'm sorry.

phpinfo() -> http://gregg.mine.nu/phpinfo.php

I don't know the version of XAMPP, but it is quite old, the package includes
PHP: 5.0.4 (apache2handler) and MySQL: 4.1.12

I can reproduce this with XAMPP 1.5.4 (the current download) on Windows XP SP 2.
Will investigate...

Okay, thanks. I don't know if that will help you somehow, but I have another
MediaWiki here, on the same machine, version 1.7.1 and everything is okay there.

Fixed on trunk in r16995 and on REL1_8 in r16997, will be in 1.8.2.
