Manual talk:Installing MediaWiki on XAMPP

So useful. Thanks Tisane! (and anyone who worked on the Lazy Man's install, which this seems to be based on). --207.164.14.20 16:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Actually, I didn't even realize at the time that one can get an AMP package that comes bundled with Mediawiki. Tisane 22:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't know about that either.. oh well, the XAMPP install is working ok :)
 * BTW Lazy Man's install is now titled Easy simple setup (using XAMPP) --Robkam (talk) 21:22, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Has anyone else encountered difficulties working with XAMPP 1.7.4-2 beta for Linux?
I am having trouble getting MediaWiki to install; it won't recognize the database username that I created and granted privileges to. I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. Tisane 11:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Other distributions
Currently this article is mostly for Windows, it ought to include details relevant for the other three XAMPP distributions too. --Robkam (talk) 19:59, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
