phpinfo.php for the webserver (46.36 KB, text/html)

phpinfo.php for the webserver

Whenever I try to create a new page in Firefox, instead of creating the page, it gives me the option to open the file "index.php". This is odd, as normally it just creates a new page.

This bug does NOT happen in Internet Explorer, it only occurs in Firefox 3.5.5.

NOTE: I am using Windows 7 and NOT Vista (there is no option for Win7 in the current version of Bugzilla, least of all Windows Server 2008 R1 or R2!)

The contents of this file are:

-----start index.php-----
[Process]
Type=Edit text
Engine=MediaWiki
Script=http://secure.neuralfutures.com/docs/index.php
Server=http://secure.neuralfutures.com
Path=/docs
Special namespace=Special

[File]
Extension=wiki
URL=http://secure.neuralfutures.com/docs/index.php?title=New_page&action=edit&internaledit=true
----end index.php-----

Here's how to recreate the bug:

1. Install MediaWiki v1.14.
2. Upgrade to MediaWiki v1.15.1 by:
a) Copying the new files over the old on the webserver;
b) Deleting localhost.php;
c) Following through the wizard to upgrade the database;
3) Install the following extensions:
a) FCKEditor (disabling this does not fix the bug)
b) Cite extension (disabling this extension does not fix the bug)

Go to the "Editing" tab in your preferences and disable the checkbox saying "Use external editor"

Oh! That is indeed the solution.

By the way - incredible response - it was about 10 seconds from the filing to the cancellation. You guys are *amazing*!
