Thread:Project:Support desk/Installing Mediawiki 2.5.1 via FTP login/reply (3)

I understand that you are trying to install MediaWiki, version 1.25.1.

This can be done via FTP, but it will take a long time until all files and folders are uploaded. Also after that upload, some files may have wrong file permissions.

It is recommended to use the shell to upload MediaWiki files: Get the MediaWiki tarball and extract the files directly on the server!
