Hi! I was recently installed Math extension into my wiki. The files have already copied to the /extension folder. I have added require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"; to LocalSettings.php. The problem was when I wanted to update the database by performing /w/mw-config, setup could not show the next step, only the intro page was shown. Could you help me how to solve this?

How did you "perform" "/w/mw-config" exactly? What does "could not show the next step" exactly mean? What was shown or what exactly was missing to get to the next step? What kind of "intro page"?

Here to say that I had the same problem but solved.

I'm quite sure that the user had MediaWiki installed through a package e.g. the Debian GNU/Linux mediawiki package, but the user didn't create the /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php and, instead, have simply created the LocalSettings.php in his/her web server document root.

TL;DR create a soft link using ln -s /var/www/where/you/put/stuff/LocalSettings.php /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php and enjoy the mw-config updater script.
