I'm trying to install MediaWiki on fedora 17
I've followed the following instructions install guide.
I reached a stage where i'm supposed to configure MediaWiki on localhost/wiki page.
instead I get a page that specifies the files under that directory.
It seems that something is wrong with my php setttings/installation.
If you need me to post additional information please let me know.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Edit: The following files are visible
[TXT] api.php 12-Apr-2011 04:07 4.5K
[DIR] config/ 12-Jun-2012 12:58 -
[DIR] images/ 12-Jun-2012 12:58 -
[TXT] index.php 01-Jan-2010 23:09 4.2K
[TXT] opensearch_desc.php 21-Mar-2009 18:48 3.0K
[DIR] skins/
Thanks now the php pages' source is displayed in it the following message appear
* This is the main web entry point for MediaWiki.
*
* If you are reading this in your web browser, your server is probably
* not configured correctly to run PHP applications!
any ideas how to configure that?
Thanks in advance
You can try adding a
.htaccess
file to the directory you see, with:
Options -Indexes
in it, to disable directory listing.
EDIT:
Take a look at the httpd.conf file in your local Apache folder. You need to modify the DirectoryIndex value to display index.php also:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
EDIT 2:
For running install script, you need to make the 'config' directory writable by the webserver/apache user.
chmod a+w config
restart apache with:
service httpd restart
then reload the page.
