|

I have a problem installing this thing, and it's a pretty specific problem I've run into on multiple install attempts. It's having to do with the initial set up of the thing. I browse to the folder in a browser and it says "You have to set up the wiki" with "set up" being a link. Clicking the link supposedly runs the config script.
Now, the config script is supposed to generate a file called LocalSettings.php, but when I try to run it is says it can't because the directory isn't writable. It says to go to a UNIX windo and do chmod a+w config to change that.
So I did that, and now I'm stuck on what to do next. Do I... delete some file somewhere to try again? Repeating the same steps has yielded no results. Even after editing the write access on the directory, nothing changes. I still can't run the config script.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Oh.. and before I get the canned smartass reply, I've looked within WikiMedia's documentation and I've found nothing relevant. I've read through several pages of support docs, they all focus on problems other than this, I haven't seen anything about the basic permission changes not having an effect on the config script.
-Nah-

Nah,
What error do you get now when you try and run the config script? Did you check the docs to see what other permissions you need?
Do a ls -l on the directory in question and see what permissions it actually has.
