Package: mediawiki1.5
Version: 1.5.8-1
Severity: grave
I've had big troubles installing mediawiki1.5 due to LocalSettings.php
permissions and directory. But let's start from the beginning...
After having installed mediawiki1.5, this is what installation page
says: "Installation successful! Move
/var/lib/mediawiki1.5/config/LocalSettings.php to
/etc/mediawiki1.5/LocalSettings.php with rights 600, then follow this
link to your wiki."
I've done what requested, but got this error:
>>
Warning: main(./LocalSettings.php): failed to open stream: Permission
denied in /usr/share/mediawiki1.5/index.php on line 62
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './LocalSettings.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in
/usr/share/mediawiki1.5/index.php on line 62
<<
and it's OK, since there is no file './LocalSettings.php' under
/usr/share/mediawiki1.5/ , where mediawiki do runs.
So I've taken LocalSettings.php and put it under
/usr/share/mediawiki1.5/ , but still got the same error, and this is
because './LocalSettings.php' doesn't work and you have to use
'LocalSettings.php' instead.
But it is not enough: 600 permission is too restrective and apache can't
read LocalSettings.php since it forks its child as running under user
www-data, which cannot read that file. chmoded 644 (640 doesn't work for
the same reasons as before) everything worked out fine.
Sorry for this very long report, but I hope I've filled a complete one,
even about permission.
I'm attaching 2 patches against index.php, one if you choose to put
LocalSettings.php under /usr/share/mediawiki1.5, the other if you choose
to live that file under /etc/ dir.
Regards,
Sandro

Hi,
sorry for this misfired bug!
This is the situation:
# ls -l /var/lib/mediawiki1.5/config/LocalSettings.php
-rw-rw-rw- 1 www-data www-data 3824 May 15 22:50
/var/lib/mediawiki1.5/config/LocalSettings.php
but if you do
# cp /var/lib/mediawiki1.5/config/LocalSettings.php
/etc/mediawiki1.5/LocalSettings.php
the destination file will be owned by root. This lead to my bug report.
Now, with this situation:
# ls -l /etc/mediawiki1.5/LocalSettings.php
-rw------- 1 www-data www-data 3824 May 15 22:50
/etc/mediawiki1.5/LocalSettings.php
everything is working fine, so I'm closing this bug.
Cheers,
Sandro
