I did find a detailed answer and this is what I did to solve it on my server...
The info was also added to
http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=473
WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.1-C104
RedHat 9 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0
My solution to this has a few minor adjustments...
First was to edit one line in the index.php file in the root of the user
created wiki directory. This is under Part 2, Database Selection:
'dsn' => 'mysql://
username_phpwiki1:PaSsWoRd@localhost/username_phpwiki1',
was changed to
'dsn' => 'mysql://
username_phpwiki:PaSsWoRd@localhost/username_phpwiki1',
Second step was to add the user which was created by the installer script to
the database. I just gave it the default of all permissions.
Third step was to install the proper schema located in the
{docroot}/{wikidir}/schemas/ folder. I did this by copying this into
phpmyadmin.
This allows for the wiki to load the virgin wiki. There may be other issues to
consider. I do not know what the installer script is skipping so this could be
very insecure.
