Thread:Project:Support desk/My pages, my talk, not working

Hi. So I installed and have mediawiki up and running. Problem is that the admin (or user) and My Talk links above result in an error message via both IE and FF. So I guess that means there is a problem accessing or creating my pages. This happens whether I am logged in as admin or as another reader/user that I created. I also notice that a few links on the sidebar have the same issue; namely community portal and current events (those links were installed in the default installtion).

On IE, I get a "page cannot be displayed error"

On FF, I get the following error: "Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

Can someone help or shed light on this? I really would like to get this operating right and am at a loss, struggling big time. Please don't kill me -- I'm a newbie at this. :-(
