[Phpwiki-talk] Installation problems

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Okay, I've finally bit the bullet and decided to install Phpwiki 1.3.7.
I'm having trouble with database selection. I'm running on a machine
administered by my university. I believe it is Debian Linux, but I'm 
not sure what release. 

I don't have access to a MySQL server or the like at the moment, so I've
been trying it out using the simpler alternatives.

For all of the 'dba' style databases, I get a message of the form:

"lib/DbaDatabase.php:38: Fatal[256]: dba_open(pages/wiki_pagedb.gdbm,c): No such handler: gdbm"

which is odd, as we do seem to have gdbm installed, as far as I can tell.

So I tried a flat-file approach. Now it did the whole "loading up a 
virgin wiki" thing and created lots of pages the designated directory,
but when you try to display any of them, the page comes up blank 
("View source" shows it is just "<html><body></body></html>").

Any hints?
