Bug #: 35894
Summary: Reports of secret key generation "hanging" on windows
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18.2
Platform: All
URL: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_
desk/Installation_of_V_1.18.2_stopps_while_creating_"s
ecret_key"
OS/Version: Windows Server 2003
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Installation

I've seen a couple reports of the install hanging on the "generating secret
key" step. All these reports seem to be windows. See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Installation_of_V_1.18.2_stopps_while_creating_"secret_key";
Things that need to be determined:
*Is it really hanging, or does it just take a long time to generate "real"
randomness. How "long" is a long time
*How common an occurrence is this. Is it just some people, or is it all windows
users and we just don't notice because very few of us use windows.
If its really hanging, we should figure out why. If its just taking a really
long time, we should figure out if that time is acceptable amount (Obviously,
If it takes an hour to generate the secret key, that's not acceptable )
If its going to take such a long time, we should really have some sort of
warning to users.
