Apache2.0 + PHP5.1 + MySQL5.0 + MW1.15.1 + Configure0.13.7 on Red Hat RHEL 4.6 in a wikifarm setup - multiple wiki's with independent LocalSettings, independent databases and symlinked codebase. Wiki instances behave erratically when configuring with Configure; creating a change in one part of a configuration erases another part. Example: configuration run 1 changes the logo, run 2 creates groups with different right assignments; after this the logo setting is erased. When fixing the logo setting in run 3, the group assignments are lost. (re)Configuring the wiki in a single run in which each configuration section is individually opened so that all current settings are "exposed" in the browser session does not remedy the problem.
Jan, does this still happen in MediaWiki 1.17.0?
I couldn't say - I've given up on using Configure since I never ever saw it working correctly, even though I've tested it on 3 different platforms (RHEL/CentOS/Debian).
Jan, per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Configure the current version of Configure is 0.16.1 (24 February 2011) -- when was the last time you tried it? Adding the Configure developer to the cc list.
Haven't retried after end of '09, so 0.13.7 is the last version I tested. I'll try to test with 0.16.1 this weekend.
