Description T. Gries 2012-04-16 06:06:47 UTC
I noticed what I regard a reproducible problem with the installer for fresh installations.

When checking the second option (2) the last question at the end of the installation procedure are 

"Advanced configuration: Settings for object caching:"

- (1) No caching (no functionality is removed, but speed may be impacted on larger wiki sites)

- (2) "PHP object caching (APC, XCache or WinCache)" (checked)

$wgScriptPath is set to empty string in LocalSettings.php so that the installed wiki does not properly work.

I compared the resulting LocalSettings.php files for an installation with option (1) and (2) and found that 

-$wgScriptPath = "/myserver";
+$wgScriptPath = ""; /*** BUG WHEN SELECTING (2) DURING INSTALLATION ***/

-$wgMainCacheType    = CACHE_NONE;
+$wgMainCacheType    = CACHE_ACCEL; /* ok */

T. Gries: Do you by any chance know if that still happens when installing recent MediaWiki versions?

André: I did not go through fresh installations since a while. 

So, if you want to close this issue, pls. go on. In case I see the problem again, it can easily be reopened.
