[Phpwiki-talk] Re: installing phpwiki

[Steve W. <sw...@wc...>]

From the look of it, there is some problem with how PhpWiki determines
what version of PHP your site uses. I see:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 19:18:41 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) ApacheJServ/1.1.2 Rewrit/1.1a
FrontPage/4.0.4.3 PH
P/4.0.3pl1
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.3pl1
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

Unfortunately PhpWiki will try to use the dba_* library instead of the
dbm* library with any PHP version 4 or later; it's possible PHP 4.0.3 has
poor support for the dba_* functions, or it wasn't compiled in (more
likely).

I think what we need to try here is force your Wiki to use the dbm*
library. You can edit lib/config.php and set the database to "dbm" instead
of "default" (assuming you haven't changed it) and try again.

Let me know if it works...
