In reply to rjohnson. This tutorial assumes that PHP is already installed. If not, install it using: apt-get install php7.0

also php installation step is missing. i am doing this on a vanilla ubuntu 16.04 desktop choosing defaults fro package installasion. apparently php is not installed by default on this 16.04. apt install php7.0

the reason for this is when i start i get the php page that says “this is the main entrypiont for mediawiki” no php… problem solved by isntalling php

In reply to Zoe. Make sure you set a proper ownership of MediaWiki files/directories using: chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/html/mediawiki

I have 500 Internal Server Error after having /var/www/html/mediawiki. The official website mention to change the permission.
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

But I still have the same error. Do you have any clue on what I can do?

In reply to John. This tutorial assumes that MySQL server is already installed. If not, install it using: sudo apt-get install mysql

I guess you forgot MySQL installation procedure . Please, do a double check on that.
