I'm trying to install MediaWiki and am having no luck. Its gets as far as:

Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

* PHP 5.2.6 installed
* Found database drivers for: MySQL
* Warning: PHP's safe mode is active. You may have problems caused by this, particularly if using image uploads.
* PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
* Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
* PHP's memory_limit is 32M. If this is too low, installation may fail!
* Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
* Couldn't find Turck MMCache, eAccelerator or APC. Object caching functions cannot be used.
* GNU diff3 not found.
* Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads.
* Installation directory: /hosted/subs/ulmb.com/c/e/celebpedia/public_html
* Script URI path:
* Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.
* Warning: $wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand(). Consider changing it manually.
*

Generating configuration file...
* Database type: MySQL

Then it just sits there doing nothing. Any help you could give me will be greatly apprechated.

Did you put in information for MySQL? Like the mysql server name? What did you put in? The mysql server name is "mysql" not "localhost"

Yes for the database I put:

Database host: mysql
Database name: 11493_celebwik
DB Username: 11493_celebwik

And the name, username & password is the same as the database I created in MySQL databases in the Control Panel.

Well then I would say check with the makers of mediawiki. It sounds like a problem with their script. You could try to see if they have a form of error reporting that you can turn on.
