I got this error:
Warning: require_once(install-utils.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/wiki/config/index.php on line 46
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'install-utils.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/share/mediawiki:/usr/share/mediawiki/includes:/usr/share/mediawiki/languages') in /var/www/html/wiki/config/index.php on line 46
It seems to be a bug with MediaWiki. I found a workaround: The problem is apache is looking in the wrong place for those install-utils.inc files because you probably moved the directory. So we need to tell the apache web server where you gone and moved it to:
Solution:
1. Open your config/index.php file,
2. On line 23 you see these two lines:
$DIR=dirname( getcwd() );
chdir('/usr/share/mediawiki/config');
Change those 2 lines to this:
$DIR=dirname( getcwd() );
chdir('/var/www/html/wiki'); #replace this directory with your directory that contains the file 'install-utils.inc'
3. Then I re-started the apache web server: service httpd restart
4. In Firefox navagate to http://localhost/wiki/ It then takes me to the next step.
What had happened is I moved the default install location of Mediawiki after install, that confused it.
5. Presto. Takes me to next step but I got another error:
MediaWiki 1.10.2 Installation
Can't write config file, aborting
cd /path/to/wiki
chmod a+w config
6. This error was persistent even after I ensured proper permissions on the config directory. It's a bug because the httpd daemon was running with insufficient rights. I fixed it by starting the httpd apache web server under root like this
AS ROOT:
service httpd stop
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Then restart it:
/usr/sbin/httpd
Then url=http://localhost/wiki/]http://localhost/wiki/[/url] took me to the Site config page for MediaWiki 1.10.2. Looks promising.
A second solution to the problems defined at the top of the thread:
