Hi, I tried to install MediaWiki 1.24 onto my Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS laptop. I already have LAMP installed and in use.
The installation instructions involve unpacking a tgz file - (not using the apt-get method).
But, in the online instructions it says to edit a config file in the /etc/mediawiki directory.
BUT - I don't have an /etc/mediawiki directory !!!
Obviously there is a step missing in the instructions !!
Regards
Nick
Hi Nick,
which tutorial do you follow and which file should you edit?
Since you say it is located inside the mediawiki/ directory, I guess it is LocalSettings.php?
Hi,
I followed the instructions at:

I've checked in the /var/log/apacahe2/error.log file, and I see this error:
[Fri Jan 23 13:51:02.156433 2015] [:error] [pid 16920] [client 127.0.0.1:53038] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/lib/mediawiki/includes/Init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/WebStart.php on line 94
I don't have a /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/Init.php file.
AND - what is /usr/share/mediawiki directory doing on my system ??? I unpacked the tgz file into /var/lib/mediawiki !!!!
Ah, Looks like my laptop came with /usr/share/mediawiki preinstalled. Probably manually installing mediawiki is scewing things up.
