No? Umm, changing it in DefaultSettings.php wouldn't fix that, as 99.9% of users have it set to something explicit in LocalSettings.php (since its done automatically) so the auto-detection would just be overridden anyhow. I'm doubtful we'd stop auto-setting it in LocalSettings.php, so doing this wouldn't have any affect for anybody really. I also agree that auto-detecting that sounds scary, there's a lot of edge cases where that could go wrong (in the substr example, if the php extension is .php5 instead of .php for example) Its better to have something that works all the time, then something that fails every now and then for some folks. Its not an unrealistic burden to require users to modify this setting in the rare event they move what directory their install is in. >It is working on MediaWiki 1.15.1 on XAMPP 1.7.7 on Windows 7. When I hear won't work on windows, I would assume IIS is meant. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
