I upgrade to MediaWiki 1.11 and now i can't login to the wiki. Before the upgrade i had the following:
MediaWiki 1.9.3 ip.board 2.3.1 ipbwiki 1.7.1 The above combo was working perfectly. I did the following today: Upgraded to MediaWiki 1.11.0 Reapplied the ipbwiki 1.7.1 interface code. Now what I'm getting is that whenever i try to login it does not go to the login form instead it routes me to a wiki page called index.php and claims it does not exist do you want to create it. I tried accessing Special:userlogin. it comes up ok but when i try to login it says: No such action The action specified by the URL is not recognized by the wiki. Strange. -------------------- |

does mediawiki work without the ipbwiki integration?
did you run mediawiki setup? did you regenerate LocalSettings.php? |

I didn't test MediaWiki without the integration however it seems to work fine except for the login.
I ran the mediawiki upgrade process. Ran update.php from the maintenance folder after uploading all the files. I didn't regenerate localSettings.php since i ran the update.php. I just left my old localSettings.php file. -------------------- |

think that will be the problem, some changes in 1.11 to that... what I do to upgrade mediawiki is: - rename LocalSettings.php to LocalSettingsOld.php - go to the index page of the wiki - provide the same db details I did initially to the mw installer - move config/LocalSettings.php to the root of the wiki - test if the wiki works - compare LocalSettings.php to LocalSettingsOld.php and reapply customizations you still need - test if the wiki works - install IpbWiki Interface. |

I found the problem. It was related to my URL mod-rewrites in my htaccess file. Found this solution on the mediawiki site.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Short_URL QUOTE If you find yourself editing a page called "Index.php", try adding this to LocalSettings.php: CODE $wgUsePathInfo = false; This behavior seems to be a new feature with v1.11.0 Everything works fine now but I noticed a quirk which is probably related to new IPBwiki feature. My user page was called: User:Michael_aivaliotis after the upgrade, it's called: User:Michael_Aivaliotis Notice the capitalization. Not a big deal, but this means I have to inform my members of the change. -------------------- |

capitalisation of the login names should be indeed synched now, strange that MediaWiki 1.9 didn't take that into account, I'll have to look at that.

On a related note. Is there a way to have the IPBoard display name used in the wiki instead of the username

on the todo list, synched capitalisation of the login name was a first step in this direction.
it's harder than you think to adjust this in the wiki code, the login name is not used on one place but literally everywhere... |
