           Summary: generated LocalSettings.php should not be
                    world-readable
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.16.0beta3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: deb...@jwiltshire.org.uk


Forwarded from Debian
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550940):

After running the web-based initial configuration of mediawiki
(/var/lib/mediawiki/config/index.php), it created a LocalSettings.php
and instructed me to place it in /etc/mediawiki:

~$ ls -l /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
-rw-rw-rw- 1 www-data www-data 4536 14 okt 10.54
/etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php

This file contains MySQL passwords and should therefore not be world-readable.

I notice that README.Debian suggests changing this, but the file
should not be created world-readable in the first place.
