Hello, I installed mediawiki on IIS recently (1.5.3) and I quickly find that could not edit when logged in (I could on annonymous though! I disabled anonymous edit since btw). So I tried to trace why this was happening by putting some echo in the php code and found that $request->getText('wpEditToken') was returning me a constant value no matter what my browser was sending back. As the comparaison is failing, $this->preview is then set to true and I can't validate my changes, only preview them. This seems to be the root of all my current problems (no updaload possible, can't stay logged if "remember me" tick box is unticked...). To summary: When editing a page and logged in: The form do contain a wpEditToken value different each time (I checked the HTML source code). On commit, this value is then checked againstthe one retrieved by $request->getText('wpEditToken') Comparaison constantly fails because $request->getText('wpEditToken') is always returning the same value (althouth $request->getText( 'wpSummary' ) is working). Regards, Jeremy Any help greatly appreciated
Running on Windows? Fix PHP's session save path setting to point to a directory that exists and is writable, or logins don't work.
Hello Brion Thanks for your answer, I passed it to the administrators and it appears to be exactly that. The windows user account the website was running with had not write access to the php sessions folder. Everything is now working just fine. Thanks again. Jeremy
