I uploaded mediawiki to my server, renaming the folder to simply, "wiki" first.

I go to my server URL/wiki/ and see the install link.

When I click on that setup link, I immediately get the folowing error:

Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in /var/www/html/wiki/includes/LocalisationCache.php on line 542

How can I fix this so I can proceed?

Thanks, Chris

You need to compile PHP with XML support. If your PHP install is provided by a distribution, try installing the php-xml package.

This worked for me; yum install php53-xml

Also, I've filled bug 42205 since I think the installer should fail more gracefully for those unmet requirements.

You may need to enable the xml module after installing it, in php.ini, and restart apache after that.
