Description Platonides 2011-01-24 21:27:12 UTC 
php maintenance/install.php --help

"--pass: The password for the wiki administrator. You will be
        prompted for this if it isn't provided"

Expected: It asks for a password if not provided

What happens: It tries to use an empty password, then fail because it's too short.
Comment 1 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-01-25 21:09:25 UTC 
I should fix this.  Now, should it prompt or should it continue as is and not say that it will prompt.
Comment 2 Platonides 2011-01-26 00:34:07 UTC 
I'd try to implement the prompt, as it's a nice idea, but if it turns out to be too much work, just make the parameter required and change the description.
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2012-06-22 22:07:53 UTC 
It fails now, but the message is unhelpful: Internal error when setting a password for the admin "none": Passwords must be at least 1 character.

	
Change Ibea29858 should fix this.

Bug 36069 is related to this issue.
Comment 5 Tim Landscheidt 2012-09-26 18:51:28 UTC 
If I'm not mistaken, this is now fixed with: "Param pass required!"  Please re-open otherwise.
