-{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:joomla-db.png?600 |}}
+This window will make sure that server-side requirments are met. If it says ''The environment has been checked. You can install MediaWiki'', you are good to go.
-We've already created database above, just enter details and click 'Next'.
+==== Connect to database ====
-** Overview **
+{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:mediawiki-mysql-connection.png?600 |}}
-This is the last step before Joomla installer starts the installation process, usually on this window you don't need to do anything. Installer will check that if all server side requirements are met and if you have correctly followed the guide then it should not give you any errors and you are free to click 'Install'.
+We've already created the database above. Just enter the database details so that MediaWiki can communicate with the database.
-** Remove Installation Folder **
+Database settings:
-Once the installation is successful you can remove the installation folder.
+{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:mediawiki-database-settings.png?600 |}}
-{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:joomla-remove-installation-folder.png?600 |}}

-You can not use Joomla installation until installation folder is removed, you can also remove installation folder from the command line using:
+==== Setup Administrator Account ====
-''rm -rf installation''
+{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:mediawiki-account.png?600 |}}
+Example configuration:
