Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

Same in includes/Skin.php:

$skinDir = dir($IP.'/skins');
should be
$skinDir = dir($wgStyleDirectory);

Neither $wgStyleDirectory nor any other of those types of variables have a value
at the time that $IP is set. Closing not valid, as there's a reason $IP is like
it is.

$IP is set in LocalSettings.php, $wgStyleDirectory is set in LocalSettings.php
AND DefaultSettings.php, what’s the differance?

Also the chances in Skin.php and User.php work for me.
(Don't forget to change
    global $IP, $wgRequest;
to
    global $wgStyleDirectory, $wgRequest;
in function &getSkin()) 

They're set much later. $IP is a special case and is done like that *for a reason.*

I have changed and tested it on my testwiki and I works whitout warnings. So
it's possible to change!

(PS Use RESOLVE WONTFIX next time.)
