Last night I wiped my drive completely and did a fresh install OpenBSD 3.9 MySQL 5.0.5 PHP5 mediawiki 1.5.6
I followed the instructions presented after each package was added. I didn't setup mediawiki until today at work. After a little bit of messing around I finally got it working though somewhat flakey. It went through the set up and created the database in MySQL but would not go to the main page until I refreshed several times. Finally it went to the main page and I tried a few links and they worked ok. When I created a new user the whole thing died. I removed the LocalSettings.php file and did the setup again but I could not even get to the setup page. I removed MySQL and it's database, PHP and mediawike and added the pacakages again. Again following each of the instructions, but now it won't find the mysq.sock even though it appears to be where it belongs, (/var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock Here is the page I get when I try to set it up. I hope the problem is just that I don't have the socket in the right place. If that is not it I am going to start all over by installing OpenBSD again.
