Tested on both Linux and Windows2000, ver. 1.4.9, 1.4.10, language=english, italian. Same result: as soon as you use the setting: $wgWhitelistRead = array ("Main Page"); whetever you put into the above array it just generates an error when you access the wiki's main page. The error is obvious in IE6 (but does not occur in Firefox). A small window pops up: ----------- Runtime Error Line: 1 Error: Syntax Error ----------- after saving the page on disk and opening it, the error still occurs. An inspection of the page revealed that this error lays into a series of uncomprehensible set of SRCed, external Javascript code. If I can give an advice: perform auth checks on server side and drop all those Javascript includes or make them work on IE.
Those sorts of checks are done server-side; as far as I know, we only rely upon JS for very minor things like interface tweaks per-browser. Crucial stuff like protecting pages from viewing is done before the page gets to the browser. You could try this, just to put my mind at ease: $wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page"); I'm not 100%, but I believe the space makes the difference.
Include "-" in the whitelist.
(In reply to comment #2) > Include "-" in the whitelist. What do you mean by include "-" that looks like a hyphen is that an underscore??? Do you mean "Main_Page" I tried that below but I still get the same error... $wgWhitelistRead=array("Main_Page","Special:Userlogin","MediaWiki:Monobook.js","MediaWiki:Monobook.css");
I am also getting this on version 1.5.3 $wgWhitelistRead=array("Main Page","Special:Userlogin","MediaWiki:Monobook.js","MediaWiki:Monobook.css"); $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; This is my permissions settings let me know if there is a way to fix this????
"-" means "-". Have you tried it?
$wgWhitelistRead=array("-","Main Page","Special:Userlogin","MediaWiki:Monobook.js","MediaWiki:Monobook.css"); Adding "-" into the array works!
