Topic on Project:Support desk

Hi,

we want to use the 1.20 version, and we already use 1.17 on another server, but for other purposes. I want to set up the 1.20 on a new web server.

I just followed the install instructions and mysql, php and apache is working well. When I go to index.php of the root folder I see the - Please set up the wiki first - Page, which is absolutly correct. But when I try to click the link, which directs me to mw-config/index.php, the page is just blank, no html-source there.

When starting this script via cli, even with apache-user, the script seem to return correct html code.

do you have any quick suggestions? thanks in advance

See Blank page

Thank you for the Tip, i added the error_log and wanted to retry, but than it worked. I guess maybe there where some caching problems. Thanks!

I have the same issue, using media wiki 1.17 got to "wiki_location/mw-config/" choose language - and then I get a blank page :-(

tried adding the error code to the localsettings.php file - but still I get a blank page. I just get "wiki_location/mw-config/?page=ExistingWiki" in the title bar.

when I try to go back to choose a language - the blank page remains and I need to clear the cache in order to see the page again.

any help would be appreciated!!

Could you please check if the problem is bugzilla:42205? Check if your installation environment meets all the Manual:Installation requirements.

Also, you should also take a look at the server's error log (apache error_log for example) since such errors are normally logged there, where you can obtain a more meaningful error message.

This helped. Thanks!

I restarted the computer and it worked (perhaps due to a recent Apache/PHP installation?) Note this error occurs before user has executed mw-config/index.php so LocalSettings.php may not exist.
