Description Mark A. Hershberger 2013-01-20 02:09:29 UTC 
I was helping someone install a wiki on a troublesome host and didn't realize that he were trying to complete the installer at the same time I was.

We both succeeded, but when I we looked at our users, both had Sysop/Bureaucrat rights.

There were errors during setup (something like "oops! tables already exist") but that didn't stop it from creating two admin users.

This is a race condition (run an installation before the other person creates a LocalSettings.php) with low risk since you have to have the DB passwords to finish the installation -- but it should still be fixed.
