I have been running Mediawiki on FreeBSD for about ten years. I=E2=80=99ve=
never seen this issue.
How did you install apache, php and Mediawiki? Which version of =
Mediawiki?
Did you use pkg for all of them? If so, all needed parts of php should =
be there and working. Have you done anything unusual to php.ini?
I used to use apache and php from ports but have always installed =
Mediwiki from source. Hence, I=E2=80=99ve had to insure that all the =
needed php extensions are installed.
I=E2=80=99ve since switched from apache to nginx, as there was an issue =
with apache that took a long time to resolve.
