    Mediaqwiki Install issue

    Hi!

    First of all, sry for my bad english!

    My problem is very weird. I try to Install Mediawiki 1.10.1 to my Webspace.
    I load everything up on my FTP. No problems at all.

    But if i got to http://myuser.subdomain.com/mediawiki/

    That appears like the normal way everything all right...



    And when i Click "Set up the Wiki first" the only thing appears is that



    Normally it should appear the page where you fill in you mysql data and stuff...

    Change the permission settings for the "config" subdirectory so that it is writable by the webserver. If you are using FileZilla, right-click on the directory, select "attributes...", and check "Write" under "Owner". If it prompts you for a number instead or you are using a command-line interface, use 755 (Use 777 on Linux except for RedHat Linux). Alternately, you may be able to change permissions using a "control panel" provided by your web host.

    Depending on the server configuration, in some cases you have to check all boxes (777) in FileZilla, to be able to run the install-script of MediaWiki.

    That is a quote from this page, have you read it yet:

    I had a problem with it. Eventually, I asked a member of staff (who I cant remember lol), and that got up the screen to which it asks for data. Then it refused to write data to the database.

    For the sake of simplicity, I would just go for Drupal, you can get the sameish stuff out of it.
