Then click the final continues...
There where also the following notices:
*ImageMagick was found
*intl PECL extension was not available (this is not crucial unless the traffic is high) [http://pecl.php.net/package/intl]
*The uploads directory has a security vulnerability that needs closing [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Security#Upload_security]
There was also the following database warning:
Warning: You have selected MyISAM as storage engine for MySQL,
which is not recommended for use with MediaWiki, because:
*it barely supports concurrency due to table locking
*it is more prone to corruption than other engines
*the MediaWiki codebase does not always handle MyISAM as it should
If your MySQL installation supports InnoDB, it is highly recommended
that you choose that instead. If your MySQL installation does not
support InnoDB, maybe it's time for an upgrade.
