It's a database problem. Definatly.

I´v got this message in the beginning of the installation process:

*Warning*: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit in safe mode in
*/mnt/kw1/01/914/00000000/htdocs/Bioseite/mediawiki/install-utils.inc*
on line *27*
* PHP 4.3.9: ok
* *Warning: PHP's safe mode <http://www.php.net/features.safe-mode>
is active!* You will likely have problems caused by this. You may
need to make the 'images' subdirectory writable or specify a TMP
environment variable pointing to a writable temporary directory
owned by you, since safe mode breaks the system temporary directory.
* PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title)
* Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
* PHP's memory_limit is 8M. *If this is too low, installation may
fail!* Attempting to raise limit to 20M... failed.
* Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
* Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be
enabled if you enable uploads.
* Installation directory:
/mnt/kw1/01/914/00000000/htdocs/Bioseite/mediawiki
* Script URI path: /mediawiki

The Problem remains even if I give chmod 777 to install-utils.inc and
images

The file LocalSettings.php is not created

Any ideas to solve the problem ?

1000 Thank`s

Christoph

Ouch, what a config!

Search WikiMedia Metawiki and this list for help on dealing with safe mode.

make sure you chmod 777 the install directory, too. This is where
LocalSettings.php is written.
