I almost have it. I installed mysql, php and apache. Both apache and mysql seem to be working correctly, but not php. I don't know where I got that wrong. It is the same as before: seeing the code instead of the install page. Ideas welcome while I tinker...

I don't really know what is going on here. There was a link to a mysql forum thread about how to downgrade mysql to make it compatible with php, but a lot of the comments talked about just changing passwords. That's what I was hoping to accomplish in phpmyadmin. After I did that, as I say it connected to the database, but then I got this same error. You asked about the output of MW, well, that was it. So I refreshed and then I was right back at the link that takes you to set up the first time, so clearly it did not install. John Durant on this thread suggested starting over, not using a stack, and deleting any AMP files in add/remove programs and also in the registry. The only AMP files in my registry were old tomcat files from some program I was testing that needed them. I have deleted them. I suspect the reason no other AMP shows up is a function of how the stack was put together. I did not see WAMP in either add.remove programs or the registry. --- On Fri, 4/1/11, Platonides <[email protected]> wrote: From: Platonides <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Install on Windows Problem To: [email protected] Date: Friday, April 1, 2011, 5:32 PM Nat Colley wrote: > Platonides,Sorry, I am just now seeing your response.

Check passwords." I doubt this is your problem, since you are using a server stack that cointains both apps. It would be very silly to create a package containing mysql and php, with php unable to connect to mysql. > If you follow the link you learn all about old and new passwords in MySQL > since 4.1.

What's the output of MediaWiki installer? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
