[Mediawiki-l] Silent Login Failure

[Pierce, Sean]

Categorically annoying!

I reviewed and compared LocalSettings.php and found nothing out of the ordinary.  I removed the 
added extensions.  Searched and reviewed all files altered in the since installation (extension 
related and LocalSettings.php) and found nothing odd.  My only thought is that the account 
information in the DB is somehow blocking or ending logins.

Can someone tell me how to view the contents of accounts record and what they should look like?

Thanks

All-

Help.  All logins fail silently on my MediaWiki.  Login appears successful as no errors occur in the browser or in OS or Wiki logs but users do not login.   The problem started when I added the Calendar and Breadcrumb2 extensions.    After making changes to monobook and adding the extensions I could not login as Wikisysop to edit " MediaWiki:Leftnav".  I have tried commenting out the extensions, completely removing them and using other skins without success.   Does anyone have an idea of what might have happened or how I could debug?  My php skills are minimal but I am willing to hack and learn.  Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks
