Since currently I can't FTP few files on hosting, I hope I can spend the time writing what did I do in this few days on LAMP2WIN.
Firstly I never install or learn about MediaWiki. I'm just a normal user who use it on the web.
Mostly I use it on developers.facebook.com
And to everyone, I don't really know how to read code, it just my brother; Google who always help me.
For this LAMP2WIN, I didn't manage to make MediaWiki working since there is one issue that I suspect being the main reason. $wgSecretKey on LocalSetting.php

Got not more than 5 hours to make it happen! It's not also, I will keep on doing until time's up.
Found something that might solve my current issue "$wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand(). Consider changing it manually."
Hope can find the solution after this.
For now, let's pray to Allah first.
p/s: will continue..

Yes, I can create LocalSetting.php on Linux Server (linux konon, padahal pakai FileZilla & cPanel je..xde la ber'linux' sgt...hahaha).
MediaWiki is running on Linux Hosting: http://nasrulamri.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Now manually change all those setting to get MSSQL compatible.
Wish me luck!
Amin. :)

time is running up...still working on wiki!!
Will never give up until the time up! Got few hours to solve this!!
Just believe in Allah and myself to make things working smoothly and to win.
Insya Allah! :)
 
p/s: IIS server currently down tonight. So what I do is currently transferring all my files to LAMP server on my hosting to try out if it can generate LocalSetting.php that I still can auto generate on IIS.
 

Finally, will back to work on this contest after had a hectic day yesterday.
Tonight, I will check the MSSQL connection - MediaWiki code (suppose that code already working since I can select MSSQL during installation).
Then will try to figure out why my LocalSetting.php is not auto generate after install MediaWiki.
At the moment, all the tables can be created on MSSQL.
Once LocalSetting.php created, it should run beautifully on LAMP2WIN server aka IIS + MSSQL.

I just login to Plesk again after this morning had issue cannot login.
When I log in, I see my database missing from Panel.
Then I create back new Database but type of SQL only have MySQL which before has MSSQL.
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
I also would like to know how to CHMOD in IIS.
 

Had hectic day and quit frustrated when see on the front page don't have my name for voting. lol!
But when it just enter day 5 at 00:00 hrs, I just say to my self, I'm going to finish this job even though there already choose people for voting.
It's ok. Then I just enjoy myself learning setup MediaWiki on MSSQL. :)
============================
1st Attempt:
Checking environment...
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

12:00 - 01:00
I use MediaWiki but never install or know the details about MediaWiki before this.
I just read what is MediaWiki and How to Install MediaWiki. Unfortunately, it just support MySQL and PostgreSQL. Not MSSQL. :|
Already download MediaWiki and now upload on FTP server.
There are things is, I never use Windows Hosting platform. Only Linux. Infact, I don't know the command line on this 'server' thinggy.
I'm more to normal user who use cPanel + FileZilla. :D

Just check my email. I got email from admin for cPanel login, and assign category.
Got MediaWiki. Never install MediaWiki before this. But I will do my best to understand the system before install it.
 

My official Day 1. Actually, it's been 4 days this account been created. I just got time tonight to choose which category to enter.
Quite blur on how to get Web Hosting Information. lol!
Already email to admin.
Waiting for their reply.
p/s: If anybody know how to get web hosting information (if it automatically), please let me know. :D
