Package: mediawiki Version: 1.4.12-1 Severity: normal
I tried to configure mediawiki using the automatic tool at http://localhost/mediawiki/config/index.php but it kept failing with the message MySQL error 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I had just installed mysql and had root access, using a password different from the system root account. I changed the mysql root password using the procedure here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html and the configuration succeeded. I think the only significant change was that the original password had special characters (@ and $) but the second one had only numbers and letters. I suspect the configuration script isn't escaping the password. - Jim Van Zandt -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mediawiki depends on: ii apache2 2.0.55-3 next generation, scalable, extenda ii apache2-mpm-prefork [httpd] 2.0.55-3 traditional model for Apache2 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii php4 4:4.4.0-4 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php4-mysql 4:4.4.0-4 MySQL module for php4 Versions of packages mediawiki recommends: ii mysql-server 4.1.15-1 mysql database server (transitiona ii mysql-server-4.1 [mysql-serve 4.1.15-1 mysql database server binaries -- debconf information: * mediawiki/webserver: apache2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
