Hi,
http://wiki.cn2en.org installed and set the system to not auto accept registration but there wasn't any link to create an account so I found this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount I followed the instructions except for: Change to the MediaWiki directory and run: php maintenance/update.php The link to create account appeared (top right of wiki.cn2en) and when clicked on you can login or 'request one'. Clicking on that took me to a page that I could't see unless logged in but I found a fix - by whitelisting that page in the LocalSettings.php (that's where most of the adding extensions, customising takes place).Now you can view the request page however after entering a username and password you get the error:
Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "efCheckIfAccountNameIsPending". Database returned error "1146: Table 'cn2en_wiki.account_requests' doesn't exist (localhost)".
So I went back to the mediawiki website and found the extension discussion page, where someone had posted the same problem, but with a fix that I don't know how to do: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:ConfirmAccount#Database_error
I can see the update file http://wiki.cn2en.org/maintenance/update.php but i don't know how to 'run' it.
_ My hosts are looking into it.
That error is on every page now.
Best regards, Chris
