Hello, I've managed to install mediawiki 1.7 on Debian Etch using the debian packages flawlessly before, but now that I try to do the same on another system I keep getting an error as follows when I try to configure it by accessing the /mediawiki/config/index.php page:
Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/includes/Database.php on line 620 A database query syntax error has occurred. The last attempted database query was: "(SQL query hidden)" from within function "". MySQL returned error "0: " I repeated the attempts three times, purging the package every time, and still get exactly the same error. The database schema and tables are created (I see them through the mysql client interface) but the wikiuser user isn't created yet. There are no errors in the mysql or apache logs. The related packages on the new system are identical to the ones on the system that had it working. I tried Googling, MediaWiki support IRC channel and various forums to no avail. Does anyone here know what else can I do to resolve (or investigate) this?
