Problems during installation

Just a short feedback. I'm not an advanced Linux user, anyway installing Mediawiki on my laptop with Fedora took me hours!!!

I'm writing here because I want to advise you that this manual can't drive users who have problems to the answers. I think that a good manual should do even this. (In my case, the solution was very simple: look at the SELinux page and copy&paste the third command I found. The fact was that I didn't know anything of SELinux made me look for everything else. The problem was that after the installation I could see nothing!!! Black page! ))

I agree: there must be a foolproof way to install this application. I have installed and set up loads of applications, but this one just seems to be missing some detail somewhere.
