Thread: okay, who broke the wiki?
Attempting to log in to wiki.postgresql.org yields
Notice: Undefined variable: php_errormsg in /usr/local/www/mediawiki/extensions/PgAuthPlugin.php on line 29Failed to
connectto the authentication database:
It appears that quite aside from whatever the login problem is, the
failure path is too broken to display the actual error message.

Hopefully Stefan is already looking at it, or will soon be. But that's where the error comes from. > It appears that quite aside from whatever the login problem is, the > failure path is too broken to display the actual error message. Eh. that part is my fault, I'll have to look into that when I get back from Prato. //Magnus

We are working on getting this fixed however. Stefan

I've fixed it now anyway. Oh, good point. I was thinking in terms of the pgday registration page, which is what I was trying to get into myself... Do we really want to just dump out the error message directly to the lcient, though? //Magnus
