Hi! I must admit I ran the setup multiple times until I got my LocalSettings.php right. This is how far I got after using correct DB user and password. Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall the ConfirmAccount extension? My version information: Product Version MediaWiki 1.15.5-1 PHP 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1 ConfirmAccount-MW1.15-r52640.tar.gz Linux tanga 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:29 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux Thanks! Adrian /var/lib/mediawiki # php maintenance/update.php ... Checking filearchive indices... ...have ss_active_users field in site_stats table. ...ss_active_users user count set... ...have ipb_allow_usertalk field in ipblocks table. ...pl_namespace, tl_namespace, il_to indices are already UNIQUE. ...change_tag table already exists. ...tag_summary table already exists. ...valid_tag table already exists. Creating account_credentials table...A database query syntax error has occurred. The last attempted database query was: "ALTER TABLE `ald_account_requests` ADD acr_type tinyint(255) default 0, DROP INDEX acr_deleted_reg, ADD INDEX acr_type_del_reg (acr_type,acr_deleted,acr_registration) " from within function "Database::sourceStream". Database returned error "1146: Table 'lambdadb.ald_account_requests' doesn't exist (localhost)" /var/lib/mediawiki #
Workaround: I was able to overcome this problem with root@tanga:/var/lib/mediawiki# cd extensions/ConfirmAccount/ root@tanga:/var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmAccount# mysql -h localhost -u root -p lambdadb < ConfirmAccount.sql Enter password: root@tanga:/var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmAccount# I had done this to ConfirmAccount.sql first: (query-replace "/*$wgDBprefix*/" "ald_" nil) Adrian
MediaWiki 1.15 is out of support per <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle>, as well as extensions in its branch. This particluar bug is fixed in ConfirmAccount for 1.16+, please upgrade.
Thanks! I can confirm this from my and. I got 1.16+ to work with my MW 1.5 installation. The trunk version of ConfirmAccount fails with following error (with debugging enabled via following two lines in LocalSettings.php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1); ) Fatal error: Call to undefined method OutputPage::addModules() in /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmAccount/ConfirmAccount.php on line 157

Likewise, for trunk ConfirmAccount you need trunk MediaWiki.
