* '''Case:''' If you are using a different FTP client than FileZilla, be sure to configure the client to ''not'' force uppercase or lowercase filenames on the webserver. MediaWiki filenames are case-sensitive.
* '''Incomplete uploads:''' The pack includes a lot of files, spread over dozens of directories. Be careful when uploading. If the transfer is interrupted, you might have missing or incomplete files. You may have to retry your upload several times, especially if you have an unreliable connection.
* '''403 Forbidden:''' If your webserver produces a "403 Forbidden error" page, then make sure your Apache '''httpd.conf''' have '''Options FollowSymLinks''' to allow symbolic links and that each directory leading up to your linked directory have '''+x''' permission for user running httpd.
* '''Internal error:''' If your webserver produces a "500 Internal Error" at the beginning of the install process, you may need to change the permissions on the config folder to 755.
* '''SELinux''': Linux distributions which support SELinux ('Security Extensions') are becoming more widespread. On such systems, PHP scripts will still be unable to write to the config directory, after you have set the normal file permissions. You will also need to use the 'chcon' command to change the SELinux file type. See [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SELinux SELinux].

* '''Config directory unwritable:''' If you have changed the permissions for the config directory and still get an unwritable error try changing the owner to apache.
