Page Linking Help Needed
Hi, is there a plugin that automatically links key words to other Wiki pages? At the moment I am manually creating links but I'm sure there must be another way?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Mediawiki Appliance Version 1.13.20 Problems
Downloaded rPath Mediawiki Appliance, Running it on VMwear PLayer but can't find the localsettings.php file to edit.

Can't find much documentation. Any help or documentation would be great!

Extension Licensing Guidelines
I was wondering if there were licensing guidelines for extensions. I am combined several extensions with MediaWiki and noticed that some of the extensions have licenses that are incompatible with other extensions (e.g. Affero v.3 with a majority of extensions under GPL v.2). There are also several extensions that have no license indicated--is there a default license if you are coding for combination with MediaWiki? I was wondering if there was already guidance or if there could be some written on these topics. Thanks.

mySQL database username

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.9
 * MySQL version: 5.1.33

I am configuring MediaWiki, except the one part I am having problems with is when it is asking me for a database username and password and confirm password. Below that is the superuser account, which is root.

>>>''Granting user permissions... Query "GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON `wikidb`.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' " failed with error code "Can't find file: 'user' (errno: 2) (localhost)".'' <<<<

But it will not let me continue the configuration unless I specify a user and password since it will not let me leave it blank.

I am installing on Windows XP, just need some help with this issue. I am not very familiar with databases, i know the root user account info, but it is asking for a username and password and confirm password.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
