Thread:Project:Support desk/How to install MediaWiki Version 1.23.5?


 * XAMPP 1.8.3
 * MediaWiki Version 1.23.5
 * PHP Version 5.5.15
 * Database MySQL Version 5.6.20

Hello, I've downloaded XAMPP and get an error when I try to install MediaWiki Version 1.23.5. It requires a password for connection to the database with the user 'root' because it isn't safe without a password. I thought MediaWiki creates the database by itself and sets the password?!?
