Set the following in your LocalSettings.php to allow seeing the Login page when not logged in:
$wgWhiteListRead = array ( "Special:Userlogin" );
You can add other pages into this array, such as "Wikipedia:Help", to allow the pages specified in the array to be seen when not logged in.

I am trying to lock down my wiki site, but when I set $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; I can't even get to the login page. It says I must login to access that page (catch-22). I am using MediaWiki version 1.7.1.
Thanks Steve
