(I concentrate on mysql here, filedb will be checked later)

Just to get this right: you created all necessary tables as defined in th=
e=20
schema script. Then you loaded the wiki URL and nothing happend? (apart=20
from a blank page?)

Could you please verify the following:
- does the page "FrontPage" exist in your wiki? (assuming English
  language wiki)
- if not, is the function LoadZipOrDir() (file setupwiki.php) called?
  (insert a print into that function and you will see)
- do you get errors when LoadZipOrDir() is executed?
  e.g. that the specified directory for pgsrc is not found?
  (change error reporting in config.php to error_reporting(E_ALL))


> Can you point me to the sources that do this autoloading please?

LoadZipOrDir() in setupwiki.php does the initial loading.
It is called from display.php when no FrontPage exists. You can execute t=
he
function directly as well, if you include stdlib.php & config.php first a=
nd
open a database like done in index.php.

was this in the filedb or mysql implementation?
afaik I didn't clean up filedb.

Synatx error would mean that the SQL statement is not executed.=20
I assume you don't mean that, do you?

It's the way it should be: serialize() sets undefined variables to "N;"=20
whereas an empty array looks like "a:0:{}". Ok, one could argue we'd rath=
er=20
have an empty array instead of an undefined variable. I'm going to look=20
into this.

Shouldn't be too hard to add. Maybe we include this before 1.2.

No - in that case I'd just ignore you :o)
I'm happy about bug reports. Keep us informed.
