Error installing Extension:Wikibase

Hi Everybody,

in advance, thankyou for reading me.

I want to install the extension: wikibase, since I need it in order to use Template:Infobox person .

I copy the extension folder into wiki/extension/ folder, and I copy the following lines to the LocalSettings.php file, as it is recommended in the installation guide.

$wgEnableWikibaseRepo = false;

$wgEnableWikibaseClient = true;

require_once "$IP/extensions/Wikibase/client/WikibaseClient.php";

require_once "$IP/extensions/Wikibase/client/ExampleSettings.php";

And still I am getting the error message: Sorry, we have problems. Cannot acces the database.

What can I do?

Thankyou for your attention,

Jordi

What exactly do you want to achieve? I assume you copied the code of en:Template:Infobox person to a local MediaWiki installation you own? Is this correct? Do you want to use data from wikidata.org in this template, or from your own Wikibase Repo? Note that the Wikibase Client software currently needs direct database access to the Repo. Both must run on the same server because of this.

If you have database problems, it probably means that you haven’t run update.php.
