Summary: dumpBackup.php should warn if $wgDBAdmin* not set
(patch expands documentation)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.15.4
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Maintenance scripts
AssignedTo: innocentkil...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: deb...@jwiltshire.org.uk
Hi,
The attached patch (for 1.15.4, but should fit 1.16 fairly easily) expands the
documentation for maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
Notably, it also hints to the administrator that --conf can be used to specify
the patch to LocalSettings.php if it's somewhere unexpected, instead of just
crying and running away.
However, dumpBackup.php script still fails magnificently if $wgDBadmin.. are
not set. It should warn and fall back on $wgDB.., since that'll probably be
sufficient in most hosting environments.
