Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Install Problem Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Cant login
Initial Comment: I am running a private wiki that requires login to view pages and uses pretty urls. When I run login.py and enter the correct password I am told "timed out WARNING: Could not open 'http://sitename.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&useskin=monob...'. Maybe the server or your connection is down. Retrying in 1 minutes..." . I checked the Apache access log and it says "POST /wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&useskin=monobook&action=submit HTTP/1.1" 302 - Any help is greatly apppreciated.

Message: from config-py I found this hint: # Some sites will require password identication to access the HTML pages at # the site. If you have any such site, add lines to your user-config.py of # the following form: # # authenticate['en.wikipedia.org'] = ('John','XXXXX') # # where John is your login name, and XXXXX your password. # Note: # 1. This is only for sites that use authentication in the form that gives # you a popup for name and password when you try to access any data, NOT # for, for example, wiki usernames # 2. You must use the hostname of the site, not its family/language pair
If you need this request, you should put the authenticate line to your user-config.py

Message: Hi! I've got the same error. * I disabled the firewall, checked the status of wiki, mysql, apache before, then tried it and got the same error message (url was another, of course). * I tried the url in Firefox and it worked (opened the Special:Userlogin page). * I tried it on two different PCs - one time xampp, one time manually set up apache, php and mysql, but same error. * I tried it with sysop account, too, but same error. Any help is greatly appreciated, too! Thanks in advance!
