Take good care of uppercase / lowercase:

Localsettings.php is not accepted, it should read LocalSettings.php

I'm trying to install Mediawiki 1.34 via tarball on Windows10 -Linux Ubuntu - apparently all the modules are working fine: phpmyadmin, sql database, apache2. http://localhost/mediawiki/Mw-config ran successfully and produced a valid Localsettings.php: Upgrade complete. You can now start using your wiki. But then MediaWiki 1.34.0 LocalSettings.php not found. Please complete the installation and download LocalSettings.php.

I tried to put the mediawiki directory in /var/www/html/ and alternatively in /var/lib/ with a symbolic link to /var/www/html/ but http://localhost/mediawiki keeps telling me : LocalSettings.php not found.

I've put LocalSettings.php in all the directories one can imagine without success. There are lots of suggestions on several sites but nothing works.


I have tried to debug index.php: wfEntryPointCheck() fails
