Clearly you receive some response, since you mention a redirection.
You need to say what fails? Does it serve gibberish? Does it not
execute PHP? Does it report an unrelated error about databases?

And this page loads for me, leading me to imagine you've silently
resolved your problem.

In making it "not fail"? In removing the trailing slash? In making
mediawiki install and run? (That software is not for the faint of
heart, and I'd struggle to recommend it unless you had very specific
needs.)
