When I try to install Mediawiki, it stops after reporting "Couldn't find eAccelerator, APC or XCache; cannot use these for object caching." (see: http://www.mellum.haugestad.com/mw/config/index.php). I can not find anything about this anywhere. I can see from postings of similar errors that the installer can report error concerning the cache, like I had, but the installer moves ahead anyway.

Do you have any idea why my installation stops at this point?

The enviroment I am trying to install on is hosted by a provider and I only have access by a control panel: Apache version 2.0.63 PHP version 5.2.10 MySQL version 5.0.91-community

I have given the config-folder and its content 777 rights, but no luck.

Which MediaWiki version?

Last release (1.16.0)

Additionally, the LocalSettings.php is not created in the config-area. Is there more than config-folder and its content that needs to get additional rights? I have not read this anywhere, but sometimes there is some "goes without saying"-type of information that us newbs haven´t picked up ;)

I have now tried the previous version of Mediawiki (1.15.5) and this worked better. At least I am able to install, but I recieve quite a lot of errors. Are any of these the reason for why the 1.16.0 version stops? Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

The reason I ask, is that since I probably will want to upgrade to 1.16.0 and other, coming versions, I guess the errors needs to be adressed. Is there something I can do to fix the errors?

Thanks for the report, the issue has been fixed in r74918 and backported to 1.16 in r75080.
