One thing I would add is that since you are changing the name of the config directory, you will need to edit the /config/index.php file on line 756 to change the chdir function to look at the renamed directory:

$wgCommandLineMode = true;
$wgUseDatabaseMessages = false; /* FIXME: For database failure */
require_once( “$IP/includes/Setup.php” );
chdir( “config” );

Hi,

I was able to setup Mediawiki on 1and1. However, do you know how to configure email support for the Wiki on the same installation?

Regards,
Amit

It should be included. There isn’t much help with installation problems in the MediaWiki documentation.

Hey I used to have a 1&1 account and I was thinking about getting it again so I could host a wiki but I was wondering if you were able to get the Math (and images) processing stuff working.
I have had a lot of issues trying to do it on my Mac for local testing and I also don’t want to pay for the hosting and then find out the needed unix packages aren’t available.

Cheers,
Daniel
