Bug ID: 44183
Summary: two people running the installer at once create two
different admins on the resulting wiki
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.21-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Installer

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I was helping someone install a wiki on a troublesome host and didn't realize
that he were trying to complete the installer at the same time I was.
We both succeeded, but when I we looked at our users, both had Sysop/Bureaucrat
rights.
There were errors during setup (something like "oops! tables already exist")
but that didn't stop it from creating two admin users.
This is a race condition (run an installation before the other person creates a
LocalSettings.php) with low risk since you have to have the DB passwords to
finish the installation -- but it should still be fixed.
