Thread:Project:Support desk/MediaWiki 1.20.2 installation/reply (5)

Thanks Mark. I've done a little probing in the code with print_r and it's failing in the function setupDatabase in MysqlInstaller.php. It seems to be looking for selectDB in the $conn array and not finding it. $conn is set by the $value field returned by getConnection and it appears to be missing selectDB although $this->getVar( 'wgDBname' ) returns the correct db name. So, it has the right database name, just not having the name set in all the right places it seems.

I'm afraid I'm not php savvy enough to probe further. :o(

I don't think it's anything to do with connection limits. I had TikiWiki up and running on this server fine and everything else I've tried installs dead easy. I might have to knock MediaWiki on the head and try phpWiki next. I'm just trying to find some easy-to-use Wiki system with user permissions just to get a documentation project off the ground and I don't have a lot of time to tinker around.

Thanks

David
