+Installing MediaWiki
+---
+
+Starting with MediaWiki 1.2.0, it's possible to install
+and configure the wiki "in-place", as long as you have
+the necessary prerequesites available.
+
+Required software:
+* Web server with PHP 5.x or higher.
+* A MySQL server, 4.0.14 or higher.
+
+MediaWiki is developed and tested mainly on Unix/Linux
+platforms, but should work on Windows as well.
+
+If your PHP is configured as a CGI plug-in rather than
+an Apache module you may experience problems, as this
+configuration is not well tested. safe_mode is also not
+tested and unlikely to work. 
+
+If you want math support see the instructions in math/README
+
+Don't forget to check the RELEASE-NOTES file...
+
+
+Additional documentation is available online, which may include more
+detailed notes on particular operating systems and workarounds for
+difficult hosting environments:

+
+********************** WARNING **************************
+
+REMEMBER: ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE ATTEMPTING
+TO INSTALL OR UPGRADE!!!

+In-place web install
+----
+
+Decompress the MediaWiki installation archive either on
+your server, or on your local machine and upload the
+directory tree. Rename it from "mediawiki-1.x.x" to
+something nice, like "wiki", since it'll be in your URL.
+
+  +-----------------------------------------------------------+
+  |  Hint: If you plan to use a fancy URL-rewriting scheme    |
+  |  to prettify your URLs, you should put the files in a     |
+  |  *different* directory from the virtual path where page   |
+  |  names will appear.                                       |
+  |                                                           |
+  |    See: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_rules      |
+  +-----------------------------------------------------------+
+
+To run the install script, you'll need to temporarily make
+the 'config' subdirectory writable by the web server. The
+simplest way to do this on a Unix/Linux system is to make
+it world-writable:
+
+  chmod a+w config
+
+Hop into your browser and surf into the wiki directory.
+It'll direct you into the config script. Fill out the form...
+remember you're probably not on an encrypted connection.
+Gaaah! :)
+
+If all goes well, you should soon be told that it's set up
+your wiki database and written a configuration file. There
+should now be a 'LocalSettings.php' in the config directory;
+move it back up to the main wiki directory, and the wiki
+should now be working.
+
+  +------------------------------------------------------------+
+  |  Security hint: if you have limited access on your server  |
+  |  and cannot change ownership of files, you might want to   |
+  |  *copy* instead of *move* LocalSettings.php.               |
+  |                                                            |
+  |  This will make the file owned by your user account        |
+  |  instead of by the web server, which is safer in case      |
+  |  another user's account is compromised.                    |
+  +------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Once the wiki is set up, you should remove the config
+directory, or at least make it not world-writable (though
+it will refuse to config again if the wiki is set up).
+
+
+----
+
+Don't forget that this is free software under development!
+Chances are good there's a crucial step that hasn't made it
+into the documentation. You should probably sign up for the
+MediaWiki developers' mailing list; you can ask for help (please
+provide enough information to work with, and preferably be aware
+of what you're doing!) and keep track of major changes to the
+software, including performance improvements and security patches.
