Filipe and Kwan -  Yes, I did realise that the fedora instructions were for 
the web server, not for mediawiki.  If I have understood Felipe aright, 
installing mediawiki under /var/www/etc will keep it in the sandboxed area - 
correct?

I'm chief contributor to userbase.kde.org, and we have several issues that 
need sysadmin time.  The kde sysadmins are overworked, and we are not making 
progress, for a number of reasons, in getting those issues resolved.  The idea 
of this is that if I can do the sysadmin role on a local installation I can 
experiments safely away from the real one, and try to find working solutions, 
which can then be passed to those with admin rights on the kde server.

If I succeed in setting this up I'll be very glad to get back to you for help 
with specific questions, thanks.
