Clicking Continue to MindTouch returns user to beginning of install

Overview

Clicking Continue to MindTouch returns the user to the beginning of the installation process.  

Symptoms

On the last screen of the web installation it says Continue to MindTouch at the bottom of the page.  When the user clicks this, it returns them to the beginning of the installation process instead of to the MindTouch installation.

Resolution

When this behavior occurs this typically means that the LocalSettings.php file doesn't exist in the main web directory of MindTouch.  There is a last step for Linux package installs that requires the user to manually move the file into the correct location.  Run the following commands:

cd /var/www/dekiwiki/config 
mkdir /etc/dekiwiki
cp -p mindtouch.host.conf /etc/dekiwiki
cp -p mindtouch.deki.startup.xml /etc/dekiwiki
cp -p LocalSettings.php /var/www/dekiwiki/
/etc/init.d/dekiwiki start
rm mindtouch.host.conf
rm mindtouch.deki.startup.xml
rm LocalSettings.php

The load the ipaddress/hostname for the install in your browser and it should show you your MindTouch installation.
