Hi Johannes, This is now solved.
I had to set the following in my LocalSettings.php. $wgServer = 'ingimar-desktop'; - pointing to the name of my host, instead of using 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'. Is it possible to create a more straightforward documentation here ? I would not mind beeing a part of that process, I intend on doing the installation once again on Ubuntu 10.x on another machine just to see that I have gotten everything right.
