Hi,
I've disabled the createaccount option, using the line "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;" within the LocalSettings.php file, yet I've managed to create an account by going to the 'Create account' page on the login page.
Is that normal?
André
You probably have createaccount = true set for some other user group downstream from "*", such as 'user' or 'sysop'.

Well if you already have an account you can *procreate* other accounts (as sock-puppets or accounts to give to other people). To stop this you can use:
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createaccount'] = false; // etc. etc.
You can double-check at [[Special:Listgrouprights]] and make sure no other groups still have the privilege "create new user accounts" or more likely "créer de nouveaux comptes utilisateur".

You want to make sure that you didn't create a account while your logged in. You would still be able to create a account as a user, do $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; , log out, and then try to see if you create a account logged out.
