Tim, can you offer some wisdom or guidance here? This bug is hard to reproduce
-- Greg Sabino Mullane and OverlordQ can repro it, but Chad can't reproduce it
on MySQL or on SQLite -- and "it shouldn't differ by dbms, since that code is
shared."
DJ Bauch offered, "I see this (Bug 28172) happen when an install fails to
complete for some reason (on SQL Server in my case) and then tries to resume.
Restarting the install from scratch after fixing whatever caused the failure
works around the problem that the load balancer has been turned off and never
turned back on."
Selected IRC conversation:
<G_SabinoMullane> I think the key is here: #2
/var/www/thedarkcitadel.com/w/includes/User.php(2858): wfGetDB(-1)
<^demon> After the db has been initialized the LB is re-enabled.
<^demon> And then User can do its thing.
<G_SabinoMullane> ^demon: Why is the LB being disabled there?
<MaxSem> e.g. to prevent you from creating a user when you shouldn't :)
<^demon> The LB code automatically does things like connect to the database
and such.
<MaxSem> =when DB is not ready yet
<^demon> Right, it's to keep you from breaking things accidentally.
