I have set up wiki which can only be read by logged in users, by setting:

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload'] = true;

However, a non logged in user visiting any page raises an error, and this appears to call:-

    function returnToMain( $auto = true, $returnto = NULL )

which contains a 10 second refresh (on the the main page) with the notice

$wgOut->addMeta( 'http:Refresh', '10;url=' . $titleObj->escapeFullURL() ); }

I have set the refresh to 600 seconds to reduce server load. This Wiki is on the Internet (that is not an intranet).

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

My next question is "how do I login to wiki that will only allow logged in users to read pages"?

Looks like there is need to refresh back to the login page, and not the page that says
