[Mediawiki-l] CentralAuth problems: Help required

Sat Oct 11 14:01:22 UTC 2008

 I set up CentralAuth on my localhost wiki before I move it to my webhost.
It works almost well, apart from the fact two errors happen when my account&nbsp; is merged:You are ready to create your unified account, with the following wikis attached: Home wikiThe password and e-mail address set at this wiki will be used for your unified account. You will be able to change which is your home wiki later. localhost/$ (home wiki)

Attached account
 The account named &quot;WikiSysop&quot; on each of the following sites will be automatically attached to the unified accountlocalhost/$ (confirmed by password)The accounts merge successfully, but it doesn&#39;t show the database names (in this case, wikitest1 and wikitest2)

Also, when I try to change global group memberships, it says errors exist in the SpecialUserrights.php files and global rights logs don&#39;t work.

Does anyone know what I need to do to fix it.

Here&#39;s a sample from my LocalSettings.php:
require_once( &#39;extensions/Makesysop/SpecialMakesysop.php&#39; );
require_once (&quot;$IP/extensions/CentralAuth/CentralAuth.php&quot;);
$wgLocalDatabases = array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;2008wiki&#39;,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;2009wiki&#39;,
);
&nbsp;
$wgConf-&gt;wikis = $wgLocalDatabases;
$wgConf-&gt;suffixes = array( &#39;wiki&#39; );
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
$wgConf-&gt;settings = array(
&#39;wgServer&#39; =&gt; array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;default&#39; =&gt; &#39;http://localhost&#39;,
),
&nbsp;
&#39;wgScriptPath&#39; =&gt; array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;default&#39; =&gt; &#39;/wiki$lang&#39;,
),
&nbsp;
&#39;wgArticlePath&#39; =&gt; array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;default&#39; =&gt; &#39;/wiki$lang/index.php/$1&#39;,
),
&nbsp;
&#39;wgSitename&#39; =&gt; array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;wikisite1&#39; =&gt; &#39;Testwiki&#39;,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;wikisite2&#39; =&gt; &#39;WikiSite&#39;,
),
&nbsp;
&#39;wgLanguageCode&#39; =&gt; array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;default&#39; =&gt; &#39;en&#39;,
),
&nbsp;
&#39;wgLocalInterwiki&#39; =&gt; array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;default&#39; =&gt; &#39;$lang&#39;,
),
&nbsp;
);
&nbsp;
list( $site, $lang ) = $wgConf-&gt;siteFromDB( $wgDBname );
$params = array(
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;site&#39; =&gt; $site,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;lang&#39; =&gt; $lang,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;wiki&#39; =&gt; $wgDBname,
);
$wgConf-&gt;extractAllGlobals( $wgDBname, $site, $params, array() );

require_once( &quot;..\CommonSettings.php&quot; );
$wgGroupPermissions[&#39;steward&#39;][&#39;globalgrouppermissions&#39;] =true;
$wgGroupPermissions[&#39;steward&#39;][&#39;globalgroupmembership&#39;] =true;
$wgGroupPermissions[&#39;steward&#39;][&#39;globaluserrights&#39;] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions[&#39;steward&#39;][&#39;centralauth-admin&#39;] = true;

Also, anyone know how to get the user rights logs (for makesysop) to display interwiki links to user pages, like they do on http://meta.wikimedia.org - mine are just redlinked.

Advice much appreciated.
