Thread:Project:Support desk/Installation issues No /etc/mediawiki directory

Hi, I tried to install MediaWiki 1.24 onto my Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS laptop. I already have LAMP installed and in use.

The installation instructions involve unpacking a tgz file - (not using the apt-get method).

But, in the online instructions it says to edit a config file in the /etc/mediawiki directory.

BUT - I don't have an /etc/mediawiki directory !!!

Obviously there is a step missing in the instructions !!

Regards

Nick
