Mediawiki 1.34 doesn't find Localsettings.php on Windows -Ubuntu

I'm trying to install Mediawiki 1.34 via tarball - apparently all the modules are working fine: phpmyadmin, sql database, apache2. http://localhost/mediawiki/Mw-config ran successfully and produced a valid Localsettings.php

I tried to put the mediawiki directory in /var/www/html/ and alternatively in /var/lib/ with a symbolic link to /var/www/html/ but http://localhost/mediawiki keeps telling me : LocalSettings.php not found.

I've put LocalSettings.php in all the directories one can imagine without success. There are lots of suggestions on several sites but nothing works. It is clear that http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php is opened:

---

define( 'MW_ENTRY_POINT', 'index' ); /define( 'MW_ENTRY_POINT', '/var/www/html/mediawiki/' );/

// Bail on old versions of PHP, or if composer has not been run yet to install // dependencies. Using dirname( FILE ) here because DIR is PHP5.3+. // phpcs:ignore MediaWiki.Usage.DirUsage.FunctionFound require_once dirname( FILE ) . '/includes/PHPVersionCheck.php'; wfEntryPointCheck( 'html', dirname( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] ) );

require DIR . '/includes/WebStart.php';

$mediaWiki = new MediaWiki(); $mediaWiki->run();

---

then goes to WebStart.php

---

// If no LocalSettings file exists, try to disnano WebStart.phpnano WebStart.phpplay an error page // (use a callback because it depends on TemplateParser) if ( !defined( 'MW_CONFIG_CALLBACK' ) ) { if ( !defined( 'MW_CONFIG_FILE' ) ) { define( 'MW_CONFIG_FILE', "$IP/LocalSettings.php" ); } if ( !is_readable( MW_CONFIG_FILE ) ) {

            function wfWebStartNoLocalSettings() {
                    # LocalSettings.php is the per-site customization file. If it does not exist
                    # the wiki installer needs to be launched or the generated file uploaded to
                    # the root wiki directory. Give a hint, if it is not readable by the server.
                    global $IP;
                    require_once "$IP/includes/NoLocalSettings.php";
                    die();
            }

            define( 'MW_CONFIG_CALLBACK', 'wfWebStartNoLocalSettings' );
    }
