Well done :)
Not sure if it's an error of firefox (I can't find it), but I'm getting
the login page marked as loading content insecurely on the first load
(disappears if I reload).
Still, filling
a random user & password, I get the same error you reported.
Your setup _should_ work, these errors are usually related to php not
being able to write in the session_path...
Now that you mention it, I've had trouble with this in the past. I'm
not sure if it's the occasional PHP upgrade, but sometimes I lose write
permissions on the directory session.save_path is set to in php.ini.
This often doesn't present a problem as none of my code and apparently
none of the other third-party apps I have installed seem to use
sessions. It's often MediaWiki where this first crops up.
I just went and checked on it, and the path seems to have 770
permissions, owned by root:apache. Unfortunately, I have Apache running
under a non-standard group, meaning Apache shouldn't be able to write
there. I just changed the group ownership to the group Apache is
running under and, as you might guess, it suddenly works. I guess I'm
just going to have to be more diligent when Fedora pushes out PHP
updates and watch the permissions on that directory.
I'm glad it sorted out. The timing matching the upgrade of MediaWiki
from 1.17 to 1.18, and no mention of a php upgrade obscured it.
I'm still getting the "You must have cookies
enabled to log in" message
over the login prompt, however. This isn't necessarily a problem since
I'm the only one with login access (at the moment), but it seems odd
that it should still be showing. That is, unless it's a generic
notification and it's always meant to be shown. I don't remember seeing
it before, but maybe I just hadn't noticed it.
Yes, that phrase shown in normal text is expected to be always shown.
