Okay, I have downloaded, extracted, and uploaded my copy of MediaWiki. When I go to the wiki, it says "LocalSettings.php not found. Please set up the wiki first." So i click set up the wiki. Then no matter what I do, this error is thrown at me: "Error starting session: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_095f5068adbc6b7c45d3fbdfa00113a3, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) " I'm not sure what to do, please help!

On the manual, it says to change the directory permission to 777 if such error occurs
I had the same problem, but changing permissions around didn't help. It turned out to be an issue with session_save_path in php.ini: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php
use ssh insert this: chmod -R 777 /var/php_sessions/ Okay~
This problem is php.ini problem:
>hosting control panel >>PHP Scripting
edit php.ini and go to this place:
; where MODE is the octal representation of the mode. Note that this ; does not overwrite the process's umask. ; http://php.net/session.save-path session.save_path = "/var/php_sessions"
change this
session.save_path = " /var/php_sessions "
to
session.save_path = " /home/users/web/xxxx/xxxxxx/public_html/phpsessions "
see http://www.netfirms.com/knowledgebase/beta/article.bml?ArticleID=1290&type=How%20To#Nugget_1374
you can "autoinstall" Mediawiki using install script site; https://secure.installatron.com/apps#cmd=browser&display=mediawiki
anyway you have to change your " session.save_path" address
Sadly, the install of MediaWiki 1.21.3 did this for me as well. Instead of getting "file not found" after the "MediaWiki 1.21.3 LocalSettings.php not found. Please set up the wiki first." message, it simply forwards me onto "mw-config/index.php" and displays the same info. If I click the 'set up wiki' link again, it forwards me to: "mw-config/mw-config/index.php" and so on.
Changing the session.save_path did nothing, neither did changing the permissions to 777 for the save_path.
Any advice?

I have same logo on older mediawiki at 135 x 79 pixils and it displays properly, but in latest level of mediawiki it seems to large. Is there a way to adjust the display of the logo?
I am trying to install a mediawiki on an hosted space by aspnix, it's a Windows Server 2008 R2. I am trying using the installation offered by the hosting platform but also trying to make installation by myself.
In any case I keep the result the home page says to me "MediaWiki 1.20.3 LocalSettings.php not found. Please set up the wiki first. " I accept the suggest and I click "set up the wiki" pointing to /mw-config/index.php. This page returns an Internal Error: MessagesEn.php is missing.
Please can you help me to solve this matter?
Thank in advance, Marco
All of the content on Installation is available, or could easily be made available, within Manual:Installation guide. Having two pages with such similar information seems unnecessarily confusing.
