在Fedora上安装MediaWiki的问题

Question

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?

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

Answer 1

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.
