Bug #: 35125
Summary: server-side information cached in a session cookie,
breaking database checks
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
if one attempts to install mediawiki on a system where database drivers are not
installed, then fixes all the server side issues, mediawiki will continue to
complain that database driver does not exist, as that is that it stores in a
session cookie.
that is a wrong behavior, and server configuration/state should never live in
user sessions.
deleting a cookie makes it work fine
reproduction:
on a machine without e.g. php5-mysql try installing mediawiki, then install
php5-mysql and retry installer - it will fail.
