Bug #: 28463
Summary: wrong password leads to blank screen
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: User login
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: chou8...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
So when I log in with the wrong password, I get a blank page. Even when setting
error_reporting(E_ALL) and ini_set("display_errors",1), there is nothing (which
is strange to me...). Furthermore, if I log in with a blank password, or a user
name that does not exist, then it is fine.
After chasing around the code, I narrowed down the problem to a call to "iconv"
in User.php (after comparing passwords, and checking if "iconv" exists). I just
commented the line out and returned false as a temporary fix for now. This is
near the comment # Some wikis were converted from ISO 8559-1 to UTF-8, ...
I'm not sure if this was already resolved in later versions, but I figured I
should just mention that for whatever reason it failed for our setup.
Here is the information about our setup:
* Version of MediaWiki: 1.16.1
* Database: MySQL, server version 5.1.34
* PHP Version 5.3.6
* Operating system where MediaWiki is installed: Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora)
mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.7
