Summary: Installer does not validate SQLite database directory
for stable path
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The SQLite database directory isn't being clearly validated; if you type in
something like "foobar.sqlite" the installer will appear to complete but the
site won't work -- you'll end up with a 'foobar.sqlite' subdirectory *inside*
the 'config' folder, which you may not even have file permissions to move or
rename.
The relative path of course then can't be reached from the main index.php
running MediaWiki, and your site fails.
If a relative path is given, it should be rebased against $IP.
