Hello Ryan,
If you are feeling adventurous, you can fix the plugin
yourself.
I'm always feeling adventurous! I'm primarily a .Net, SQL 2005 man.
Hence, working with this PHP and MySQL setup is a bit of a learning
curve. It is good fun, though, and I appreciate the guidance.
I am narrowing in on the problem. InitUser() results in an "HTTP 500 -
Internal server error", whether it is called from the custom plugin or
the generic create user.
To reframe the issue, the "Create account" form fails with an HTTP
500. This is with a default install of MediaWiki.
Now, I have PHP configured to throw exceptions into the Windows
Application log. None are present when this error occurs. This says to
me that it is an logical rather than a syntactical error. My thinking
is that it has something to do with the MySQL script not executing
properly.
Any suggestions on where to look or how to gather more detailed
debugging information?
