I am trying to install this on CentOS 6.6. I install the software and it won't let me do the actual setup. I've tried many things suggested on the internet. When I try to run the update script, I get the following error:
Function: DatabaseBase::sourceFile( /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.25.1/maintenance/interwiki.sql )
Error: 1054 Unknown column 'iw_api' in 'field list' (localhost)
How are you doing the install?
The recommended method is to use the tarball from releases.wikimedia.org, extract it and to go through installation - I usually do that with the webbrowser.
When you now try again, before you start, please make sure that the database, which you are using, is actually empty. Should there be parts of the previous attempts (like some tables with some columns), remove them. The presence of such tables while you in fact want to do a new installation might confuse MediaWiki.
