I can't install Mediawiki 1.4.15.
I've installed:
a) apache 2.0.55-r1
b) dev-lang/php 5.1.2 (current flags in /etc/portage/package.use: dba 
gd -gd-external pcre mysql mysqli session)
c) mysql 4.1.14-r1

I got the error "Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 
bytes" when creating the categorylinks table, so I've esecuted
"ALTER DATABASE wikidb DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE 
latin1_general_ci".

Then I got the error "Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical 
difficulties, and cannot contact the database server".
As far I can understand, this happens because of the new password 
algorithm in mysql 4.1+, so I've remerged dev-lang/php with the 
"mysqli" flag, but I still get the same error.

Does anybody know how to get mediawiki installed?

Thanks
Sergio
