Unable to complete installation: Database returned error 1146: table interwiki doesn't exist
1.
- MediaWiki 1.17.0
- PHP Version 5.3.5
- MYSQL 5.1
2. I am trying to install a MediaWiki at mariano.bplaced.net/wiki. The installation process fails at the point of creation of interwiki tables:
Interwikitabellen werden eingerichtet…Es ist ein Datenbankfehler aufgetreten. Der Grund kann ein Programmierfehler sein. Die letzte Datenbankabfrage lautete:
SELECT * FROM `wiki_interwiki` LIMIT 1
aus der Funktion „DatabaseInstaller::populateInterwikiTable“. Die Datenbank meldete den Fehler „1146: Table 'mariano.wiki_interwiki' doesn't exist (localhost)“.
This problem has ocurred before (see here for error in English). I can access my database via phmyadmin, there is no interwiki-table. I dropped all tables and repeated the installation procedure, with the same result. I have tried to create the table (as described here) by hand via phpmyadmin but failed, as I do not have all necessary information.
Any help would be appreciated. Could this error be caused by limited user rights?
Best regards!
MediaWiki has now been successfully installed, after I contacted the support (via ticket system). I do not know, if the supprt changed any settings convering the server, PHP or whatever.
