Thread:Project:Support desk/Cannot seem to install MediaWiki 1.18.1 on CentOS 5/reply

I had the same issue.

I ended up modifying the includes/installer/Installer.php file to get the installer to behave. I added to line 341: $compiledDBs[] = 'mysql';

To get: if ( !$installer->isCompiled ) { continue; $compiledDBs[] = 'mysql'; }

It's a total hack but I restarted the install process and was able to get MediaWiki installed.

Thanks, Mitch
